I will not be watching cable news today(especially CNN)

[senseandsensibility]

How about you? I just scanned the CNN page and between calling current events a "narrative of failure" that Biden can't deny, and trumpeting the well known intellect and moral leader Rick Scott's call for the 25th amendment, it is a feeding frenzy.

No doubt such hysteria is good for ratings, but it even seems personal somehow. Totally off the rails.

1. I seldom watch the cable/satellite media as it is. Most of my news is through Newspapers

and Bloomberg

[senseandsensibility]

10. Smart move.

I noticed yesterday that even my local news and the network nightly news were more balanced than cable. So there are many ways to keep informed without watching this garbage.

2. I have an aversion to toxic bullshittery

Yup, anything but what's passing itself off as news these days.

[Corgigal]

3. I'm waiting a week,

when they get the polls and show we turned off, they will shut up. We’re not fox viewers, and I don’t care about their personal opinions.

[Mme. Defarge]

4. CNN has definitely

gone to the dark side. As has the Washington Post. But I’m confident Biden will be vindicated.

[EYESORE 9001]

5. I gave it up many, many years ago

It has done me a lot of good.

[JohnSJ]

8. Definitely good for your blood pressure to not watch the entertainment daily circus

[GoodRaisin]

6. I'll watch updates on real news.

Not pundits and "experts" opinions. I have no interest in anything they have to say about Joe Biden.

[agingdem]

7. there's whole generation of voters that

don't care about Afghanistan...they care about the political landscape at home...voter suppression, domestic terrorism, covid, the economy, jobs...the press is on a Biden feeding frenzy..this will eventually go away...Biden's decision to get the hell out is the right one...

9. I'm not scared of the news

Even the news I disagree with.
Polls show that there is usually a 3:1 lead by the far right over the left when asked “Do you avoid news that you expect to disagree with?”

[senseandsensibility]

11. Scared is a loaded word.

I don't think it's called for here. In fact, I know it's not.

[SCantiGOP]

14. OK, fair enough

I am not reluctant to watch news with which I may disagree.

[NewHendoLib]

12. welcome to my every day life!

we are a no news zone at our house. movies or good series only.

[senseandsensibility]

13. You're inspiring me to do the same.

You and this horrible coverage may finally break my cable news habit.

15. .

16. I just turned on a British crime show

I'm usually a news hound, but I'm seeing no nuances about how Bush, cheny, Trump etc al brought this about

It's a very complex situation, and it's all blame Biden

Very facile reporting

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

17. I will not be intimidated by the DU Taliban telling me what I can and can't watch

Clarissa Ward has some amazing live street footage every day from Kabul



?

[obnoxiousdrunk]

21. She is one

brave woman. Great reporting by Clarissa.

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

23. Yes, very brave, even she said it was too dangerous for her to approach the airport checkpoints

[Chipper Chat]

18. Chu c k toad just said that tha afghan issue

Is gojng to fracture the Democratic party.
So just F you chuck.

[XanaDUer2]

19. thats classic chuck Nt

[wcmagumba]

20. I gave up cable "news" a few months back...resubscribed to the documentary streaming service...

curiosity stream and am enjoying it a lot, along with free music radio streams of jazz, classical and folk public stations with no commercials....much lower blood pressure without the corporate news feeds from the rw/mic owned media...

[FakeNoose]

22. I think today's news is just a rehash of everything that was said yesterday

I've had the Music Choice channel on for most of the day.
My doggy LOVES classic rock and so do I.

[senseandsensibility]

26. Classic rock!

Yay!

[CanonRay]

25. Ditto

[Hekate]

27. Nicolle Wallace is coming on in 5 minutes. I'm certainly looking forward to her & her guests...

Rachel will be on at 6:00 my time — likewise.

Otherwise, why bother?
