We watch tv and get the paper delivered. Most people I know do too.

We recently cancelled our satellite service and gave away our only TV. Now if we want to be entertained, we watch Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, PBS.org, or any of the hundreds of other streaming video sites on the web.

Real-time TV is dead. Why would I want to sit and be spoon fed propaganda one sound byte at a time, bored out of my skull, suffering through commercials, when I can sift through articles and videos on the web, scan for information, choosing the sources I trust? Same thing with radio: I don't listen in real time; I download the podcasts, find out what will be covered, fast forward to that part, and skip the commercials.
