If people are anything at all like me, they stopped watching the news to preserve their own sanity.

Totally. Only so much you can listen to
I stopped as well. I needed to preserve my sanity. I had a habit of watching Brian Tyler Cohen and The Meitas Touch on YouTube.
I'm certain the Democrats will take away the right lessons from this. 🙄
I have a small bit of hope. The Morning Joe people appear to have maybe learned something. It may be too early to tell yet.
Are those the ones who did a full 180° turn from "Trump is a Hitlarian Fascist" to "But we met with him the other day because we didn't want to be sanctioned as 'terrorists' or 'enemies of the people.' Real nice guy, just some minor political differences like who's acceptable to round up in internment camps."?
I go into a lot of elderlys homes.
My small microcosm:
Think 70 - 80% have the news on all day. 50% fox 30% msnbc 20% cnn
Would say maybe half of that msnbc viewership are people that can go the fox way if their stocks are doing well enough.
Had a woman who is the most cnn tell me after the election her stocks went up and you could see the conflict on her face despite all the shit she talked prior.
The more conservative as your older shit is true, for the ones that didn't internalize their protesting and went along with what was cool at the time. Dick heads.
It's the old school doomscrolling
Hopefully it's because all the liberals are busy getting their gun permits.
Probably because everyday it's some brand new outrage or the second end-of-democracy event this week or yet another toothless attempt to impose consequences that will go nowhere.
It gets clicks and it's obviously a cycle that will go on for 4 years and it's exhausting.
Nobody wants to watch that shit, wake us up when somebody does something about it. It's obvious to me that Teflon don has zero consequences for his actions, so why hear about them and ruin my day?
The only ways to watch MSNBC is to support Fox, which I refuse to do.
? What do you mean?
Any TV package that has MSNBC also has Fox News. When you subscribe, you're paying Fox News.
You can watch clips on YouTube.
If Msnbc would switch from their winny little ass hurt bitches tone to a radicalized how to survive a second term from that clown while keeping your sanity with puppies, kittens and scammers getting hurt, I would watch it.
Yikes. That is brutal.
Why watch diet fasicm on the liberal channels when you can watch the real thing on Fox
I MSNBC, but I occasionally flip to fox just to see what the monkeys are up to. If I'm in the car I just flip back to MSNBC after a few seconds. If I'm at home I have to go to another channel then MSNBC in case my husband hits the LAST button on the remote.
