Ditto here. I stopped watching much of Fox News when they called Florida for Gore. I never watched any of the other networks. I tuned back in on 9/11, and stayed with them for a while, sporadically watching the network from time to time after that, like debates, Republican convention and election nights. Couldn't stand O'Reilly, and gave up on Hannity. Once Obama was elected, I shut it off completely. I couldn't stand seeing his ugly puss on TV everyday. Last time I watched TV news, was election night 2016, and I tuned into Fox Business Channel. I prefer to get my news here, the same way I've done for over 20 years now.
Nice to meet you! We share very similar sentiments and experience with the media.
Additionally, movies and sports are dead to me for the same reasons.
