Do You Watch Mainsteam News?

Sign in to disble this ad
I thought about it the other day, and I was pretty sure that most people I know almost never watch the daily, local news. I don't know about you, but I get my news from TB, shows like the Daily Show or Colbert Report, or other television shows. I don't remember the last time I watched a legitimate TV News program (FOX, CBS, etc).

So do you watch?

No, it's way too depressing. I'm thinking about subscribing to a newspaper that only gives me good news in the morning.

There is no television news source that is worth a pair of fetid dingo's kidneys when it comes to reporting news, and I don't waste my time watching it.

I think that sums up a good chunk of the TB population right there. I'm definitely on the consuming and sick end of the spectrum.

Check out any "Family Picture" thread in the Bass Forum sometime and tell us what you find.


Oh! To answer the question: I watch news very little and read the papers even less.

I guess the world banking corporations want us to know it's okay to eat our own boogers.
