Do you find yourself following the news less and less?

[LAS14]

I used to have CNN/MSNBC on for much of the day. Often on mute, so I could just turn it on based on the crawl. But lately I don't turn it on for days at a time. The Newshour and talk radio in the car are plenty. I'm wondering of the broader public is getting saturated with Trump's idiocy. You can't believe anything he says. He changes it himself within days. So why pay attention?

Do any of you feel that way too?

1. Actually, I find myself cross-checking stuff more and more

I don't take anything Trump says or tweets at face value, of course, because unless he's bragging on himself, whatever he says is liable to change within days if not hours.

But for just about anything else, I try to make sure it's verified and if it's really too good to be true (click-bait stuff), that I read the underlying article or report to be sure that it says whatever the headline claims.

2. There is no news anymore

It's all tRump 24/7/365.

3. I check DU, TPM and Slate. Period - nothing else - no TV, no radio.

4. I use my DVR to "tape" the evening news...

And will only turn on MSNBC if there is something big breaking, like a terrorist attack.

Otherwise I leave the news off.

In fact right now, I'm watching YouTube with my XBox360, music videos like "Thunderstruck" or Windham Hill.

5. I get the bulk of my news

Here, The Daily KOS, and the BBC site, and I scan headlines at Huffpo but rarely read an article. No radio, no TV "news".

6. No. I never miss Rachel Maddow.

NPR, public radio, NYT, Honolulu Star Advertiser, Civil Beat,Washington Post and DU, with the Beeb on the side.
