I am searching for what is out there... getting weary of the corruption being overlooked and the virus taking all the news wind.

Absolutely positively NO news from the media outlets. Only from the net.

Nothing from media TV. Zip.

Only subscribed cable channels.

Amazing how the things I hear always turn out to be right. Don’t know or care with the fake news sewer systems are spewing. Much better this way.

FR and that’s it.

And I watch movies and series from amazon prime.

haven’t watched TV besides football in now 5 or 6 years.

Probably missed a lot of good shows during that time but they end up on steaming video sooner or later.

And if they suck I can shut them right off :)

Here, Brietbart, and Whatfinger are my go to for news.

Entertainment is mostly old comedy reruns, Survivor and Amazon Prime. Plus a decent backlog of movies and television series I’ve acquired to watch “when I get a chance.”

TV, never heard of it. Have not owned one in 25 years. Must refer to transvestite, at least according to the urban dictionary.

I look at multiple places, from the one sided fest at reedit and here. FR honestly seems more broad than other places if you go by the submission vs comments. Read the article and judge the merits after accounting for the spin.

Since this whole thing started, haven’t watched a lick of live TV since I haven’t been in a break room at lunch time, still going to the office though.

I sometimes watch a little Fox News online. I don’t have cable. I get my news here. There’s left-wing and right-wing articles here for complete balance. If I get tired of Rat news here, I know which sources to avoid. Sometimes I will search online for a particular topic. Entertainment wise I have Netflix and Hulu. I just watched my first episode of Tiger King. Now I’m going to watch an episode or two of The Heist.

I don’t watch tv news at ALL.

if there were some 9/11 style catastrophe I would but that’s the last time I was really watching tv news.

FR first. Then to the original source articles that I am interested in.

Rush and Kilmeade to some extent. Both their stations here are affiliates of CBS, so I get a dose of lib MSM at the top of the hour. That’s good to hear what the anti-Trump (anti-American) enemedia is spinning.

Ditto. FR. ZERO tv news for several reasons — the news is all highly tainted and full of propaganda; the format is horrendous with all the shouting and talking over each other; the people who deliver it are, for the most part, very stupid people. I mean IQ smaller than their shoe size. Did I mention their liberal biases?

For entertainment, Netflix and Amazon Prime plus over 500 movies on my home server.

Team viewer makes it nice to go from one computer to another inhouse... it also makes it nice for hackers if they can get in... they were in 3 of my computers and took over all my stuff... put what they wanted into folders and hoisted them out... they were in to all my accounts...it has been a real pain... and if I ever found them, I’d grind them to a pulp!

A home video server is something I should get around to.

Tucker Carlson, Hannity and Laura Ingraham have been pretty good for the last couple of weeks.

I don’t know what happened but Hanniity has really done a good job because I couldn’t take more than about 5 minutes of him in the past.
