I stopped watching television programming completely around 1998 or so. The last things I recall watching on any kind of routine were Home Improvement and ER.
Stopped watching television news and reading newspapers before that.
For me, the bottom line is that I feel like I am watching what THEY want me to watch (which is true) and given who THEY are, I don’t see that as a good thing.
I do watch a lot of movies I rent or own, and a lot of YouTube material but I can’t be in a room with a television on watching their program. I have to leave, I find it so off-putting.
I have a degree of contempt for anyone who gets their news from television or newspapers these days.
Why? Not every news outlet is that left. Its local news is the best.
I happen to feel the same way. I can't remember the last time I read a newspaper either. Before I retired in 2003, I used to pick up the New York Post before heading into work, and sometimes I'd access The Washington Times online. I sometimes click on the links in FR threads if I want to read the full article, but so many of them won't let you access their sites unless you turn of your adblocker, which I absolutely refuse to do.
