I quit watching all of that shite the moment Biden was declared the winner along with deleting all social media (except Tiger Droppings). Life is much better without it.

But you're still consuming trash news each time you log into TD.com.

I quit them several years ago.

I watched for about 10 minutes and actually got a shitty feeling in my stomach watching this garbage.


quote:

- I exercise a LOT more than 10 weeks ago.
- I am eating a lot better and healthier
- I am now watching more TV shows where I actually learn shite
- I am sleeping A LOT better as well

National News every single night was making my head foggy
It’s so refreshing and makes me a lot more productive by not watching that shite.


I'm doing better too.

A lot more peace in my life.

I like to *think* that I have a lot in common with the fine folks on TD

- We pretty much all love sports
- We pretty much all love some sort of recreation fishing, huntin, pickelball, traveling, tech, OT topics, Food, Drinks, etc etc etc
- Even though there are several baller OT billionaires, I like to think that we all make somewhat the same amount of money (meaning middle class)
- We all kind of laugh at the same jokes

I don't have anything in common with millionaire fake News "Actors" - Yes, they are ALL PAID actors whether you want to believe it or not - so at least I can read things here on TD Political Board coming from someone who at least has a little in common with me and vise versa.

At least I don't have to physically hear diareaah coming out of y'all mouths all day so that's another plus

I’m probably in the last decade of my life, why waste in on garbage propaganda. I’ll watch local news, mostly for weather. I find being outside pittling around make me happiest.

The only time in the last 10 years I’ve turned on the news is election night 2016 and 2020. Otherwise I get my news from here

it's been years for me as well.

was a big Rush Limbaugh fan (still miss the guy)

my brother took it upon himself to send emails of certain news stories thinking i was cutoff from society.

he is a bitter man and filled with hate and doesn't see that it's a huge problem.

i started sending his emails to spam, because he was broadcasting my email address to everyone in his contact list.

reading my bible daily since it's filled with the greatest news and it never gets old.

I used to say “ if you threw your tv out the window during Covid , you would have never known it was a thing .” (Other than idiots wearing mask around)

I have tried to detach, but they keep pulling me back in.
I keep waiting for a storm but it's a mere drizzle now.

Cable news tricks you into believing you are well informed, but in reality it makes you dumber and miserable.

I stopped years ago. The only news outlet I use now for anything is TD.

I quit watching after the 2020 election. Life is better without 24 hour propaganda thrown in your face.
