What is your typical news day intake, percentage wise

Monday thru Friday, about 60% at a minimum for me. Way less on the weekend. I'm constantly trotting back and forth to my desktop to check out you guys and when not actually watching a show on the tv I have the news on in the background even when not watching it. To clarify, I don't spend 60% of my time watching news but just absorbing the news. My typical day starts about five in the morning to ten at night.

Being retired, I don't know if that is an asset or a liability, news wise.

I turn it on for about thirty minutes in the morning. Then probably check this board in the evening. I used to be glued to politics

10 minutes Fox & Friends in the morning.
I check on Dan Bongino’s podcast.
Tucker Carlson at 7pm
Roughly 2 hours total time per day here on the political board.

Too much time really

-Red Eye Radio from 5-6 ET, while flipping channels between Fox and CNN on the treadmill at the gym
-Red Eye Radio pod cast of earlier parts of the show on and off in the morning at work
-Chris Plante on pod case in the afternoon on and off at work and some during the evening if not finished
-Fox IF there is nothing else on worth watching (based on my wife and my opinion). However, wife has now made Fox her go-to.
-This Board during the day; however, work restricts "sports" on the Web to 20 minutes per day. So, I read fast.

To answer your question, TOO much.

Same in our household.

Opposite here. I keep a tab open at work with this board which I check at least hourly. It is a good news aggregator.

We watch Tucker most evenings. I wish he would get past the Covid push this week and get onto the declass docs.

5-10%, and it's only that much because it's an election year with pandemics, wildfires and hurricanes.

Try turning it off for 30 days and you will never go back.

No cable news unless it’s a major event. I basically just get on here. Fox News website at work because it isn’t blocked ever once in a while.

I'm retired and never turn the tv on during the daytime. I'm either outside doing something or on my computer. Ninety-nine % of my news comes from here. The wife likes The Five so I watch that but Juan has gotten unbearable so that's not even an option anymore.
