3 days and I still cannot watch the news.

[59millionmorons]

I just can't stand to hear them talk about Bush. TV land has become my favorite channel to watch.

[terrya]

1. I glance at the newspaper vending machines, but I didn't buy one.

I just can't right now. I saw a picture of Bush grinning like a fucking idiot on the front page of the Chicago Tribune this morning. That's the last fucking thing I needed to read about.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. i don't watch nearly as much t v either..

but it looks like we are getting ready to invade fallujah...


we will win but I think the Muslim world is waiting for their Alamo....

The United States won every major battle in Nam but lost the war because the other side had more to lose...

[Riptide]

3. Me, too. Plus, I have picked up my newspapers for the last 3 days and...

put them directly into the recycling bin.

4. I watch TV with the finger on the Power button

Actually, I hate watching TV. But wanting to peer into the abyss, I tried watching some news last night. As soon as the story about Chimpy's news conference came on, I had to turn the damn thing off.

I can't afford to replace my TV right now.

5. I'm on a news boycott

The TV is off, I don't read a Newspaper, and I refuse to discuss the election with my family or friends. I do read DU, though. My husband brought up some current event and I went off. He started laughing and said, "I think you are following the news." I refuse to do anything to support the biased media. I want facts, not spin.

[Carolinian]

7. I'm with you, Cally. I can't stomach TV news but I will read the

paper. Many of the papers endorsed Kerry, so I'm willing to give them my support. If I run across an article that infuriates me I simply scribble FU all over it and my stress is abated. LOL!

6. you shouldn't watch mainstream news at all - some suggestions

Lots of good choices, all available on the internet to watch/listen to if their not available in your market.

[Sara Beverley]

8. I'm with you on this one. I don't miss it one bit. I use LBN

My blood pressure is down and I feel so relaxed.

[JI7]

9. i haven't either, especially not cable news

if i do it's usually a bit of local news.since i live in a mostly liberal area i don't have to put up with bush ass kissing disguised as objective news on there.

but i find out about what is going on mostly through online sites such as DU.

[MoonRiver]

10. I get my news here, Air America, and FSTV.

Doubt if I'll ever trust the whores again. The pain and misery those scum have inflicted on this country and the world is despicable beyond belief.

[Andromeda]

11. I've been watching Court TV,

and listening to Air America for four days now. I cannot bear to watch CNN, MSNBC or any news channel at all because it's too painful.

:cry:

[kentuck]

12. Same here....

I have no interest at all in hearing the bullshit.

[Julien Sorel]

13. 11 years without a TV and counting.

Don't miss it at all.

[Elidor]

19. Almost one year without

I miss the Daily Show, but portions are online.

[THUNDER HANDS]

14. I'm watching CSPAN

rather objective analysis going on. Its tolerable. But for two days previous, I stayed away too.

[xultar]

15. I like Mystery Channel and Action Channel! NO NEWS only DU n/t

[independentpiney]

16. I might start watching BBC news hour

but that's going to be it for awhile.

[Carolina]

17. for me the victim channel -- Lifetime

cause I sure am feeling victimized. Otherwise the TV is off.

Amazing what you can get done and how much better you feel when you don't watch that garbage or even have it on as background noise.

[DaveinMD]

18. I couldn't watch the news for four years

4 more won't kill me.

[seabeyond]

20. bah ha haha, my boys are turned onto that channel too

i cant watch either. have not watched a drop. tv off right now. i hear you. i feel your pain

[Generator]

21. First time in my life I haven't been able to watch the news

I can barely watch the Daily Show, much less those that our not our friends.

Can't even watch Ellen. My laugh button is mute.

[Malva Zebrina]

22. I cannot even look at a picture of Bush

it is so repulsive to me that I turn my head and click off.
