Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person or their instance. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Who the fuck even watches TV anymore?
Isn't Hasan Piker's election night strean blowing all these guys out of the water?
Old people. My mom has had directtv for 15 years.
Why watch anyone is what I don't get, the numbers on the AP news app is the fastest way to see the results. The news channels and that streamer, just get their information from them and yap.
I moved away from the US several years ago and unfortunately grew up in a fox household. On election night/the next day, I found myself seeking out CNN and MSN for the first time in my life. Normally I just do the results, but I wanted to bathe in people finally choosing differently. I wanted to hear the commentary and see their relief and I’m glad that I got to see Rachel Maddow talking about just throwing away trump’s comments.
You're right. I was watching the results alone on AP, but I kept bouncing here to lemmy and even signed back into my reddit account to read what others were noticing as the votes were being counted. I was wanting the social feedback too.
TIL DirecTV was still a thing.
She's paying like 250 a month to watch 1 channel. Newsmax.
My mom pays $255 a month for cable TV just so she can watch MS Now. I've tried to change her account so she can pay less, but no package other than the "every fucking channel there is" package has MS Now.
I wish my mom was like your mom.
Yeah, my parents' obsession with politics made it hard to relax around them (they despised trump with a passion but could not stop talking about him). But at least they weren't conservatives -- that shit would have broken me.
That is stupid, makes perfect sense, and makes my head hurt.
Why not YoutubeTV?
Idk. I bought her a chromecast for Christmas years ago. She has the technology. She's just stubborn and stupid.
I watch local news ota for...local news. I'll be damned before I watch 24/hr news. That said I'm an elder millennial so ymmv
GenX here. I made that switch (and quit listening to radio as well) around 16 years ago when it dawned on me where it was all headed. Was local only until I just got sick of the constant unending political ads. I can't take it anymore. I quit television altogether except OTA football on Sunday pretty much. As for local news, all I do now is go to their websites to watch their weather forecasts.
People who aren't terminally online. It's a real issue. Piker can't even approach their reach.
what I'm taking away from this is we need to make a lot more people terminally online. /s
Average age is 69.
😏
Yeah you keep having that thought of all those fake blonde women fawning over trump
I sometimes watch conventional ota TV for football and basketball games and SNL.
Old folks are the only ones with cable or satellite these days.
