I did 6 months ago. Get my daily dose of OT but that’s it. Stopped all news and Not that I was on much anyway but even Facebook.

It’s much better.

I never watch/listen to news other than spirts radio. My wife and grandmother love it though.... wife asks me all the time did you hear about so and so and I say nope

If something major happens I’ll see it on here, I don’t go on poli board either.... if we were to be bombed somebody would have to tell me

Absolutely, and am much better for it. The media is broken no sense watching the news. The only news I get now are friends texting links. Facebook too, get folks on both sides think it's their duty to educate me...no thanks.

I use to watch ABC Evening News every night, along with CNN, Fox News, etc. Have not watched any in 3 months. Tired of all of their agendas. I pretty much just read headlines on the internet, occasionally clicking on an article.

I listen to Westwood One radio on the way to work that hits the headlines. I scroll the OT. I got invited to participate in a Yale survey/study that asked what news yo watched on TV and I did not even recognize the programs. I am an easy going logical guy and I HATE the fact media is constantly trying to influence people. The questions in the survey were obviously left leaning. My 22 yr old daughter (no pics) is home right now and when I discussed the survey questions with her she did not understand the bias. I worry about the 20 somethings that are being indoctrinated and don't even realize it. Unplugging from MSM is the only way I can stay at an even keel.

I ceased watching most news years ago. I don't usually watch weather channel since it started being a pro global warming propaganda channel.
Accuweather is what I usually watch since it's actually weather and not other bullshite.

I usually consume no news on any channel unless something significant has happened and then it would be Fox.

Killed Twitter since all I saw on there was BLM crap.

Instagram is still used some but nothing politcal on it.

FB I still use regularly but I just ignore the political shite from liberal family members.

I try to put my phone in a different room when I get home from work. I never turn the news on the tv. If my wife has it on I’ll go do something else. Honestly, I get most of my actual news from TD. I got rid of Twitter and Instagram, but still have Facebook. I have certain people muted that share all the heavy political stuff, on both side, to try to avoid it there too.
