No more news
« on: July 30, 2018, 07:01:57 pm »
I stopped watching news. I get so tired of all the name calling and hatred. I do scroll through Facebook and glance at article and comments, but I do not let it get to me. I can honestly say that I feel good now that I do not have all of that negativity inside of me.

Lately watching the news is like injecting yourself with poison. I watch just enough to know what's going on then I turn it off.

I don't like watching the news either... so much negativity. Don't want to go to bed with that in my head.

I agree the news is negative. You need to know what's happening though.

Facebook is the worse place to get the news.  I look at our local news.  Sometimes I scroll thru news headlines on Yahoo. But most of it you don't know if it is real or fake. And you are right - all it is - is people fighting and arguing. The dumocrats needs to accept that Trump is the President and suck it up. Get jobs and go on with life.
Stop making stuff up, stop screaming and destroying things, and stop making up lies trying to start fights and further divide the country.

For the most part, I don't watch too much but you do kind of need to know what is going on in the world. So you don't wake up on morning and find we are at war and have no idea what happened or where it came from.

Any news but Fox! Lately, I’ve noticed that the media frequently focuses on bad news! You rarely see or hear good news! One reason why trump won the election constant negative news on his opponent.

The local news in the NYC area where I live contains a lot of violence because it reports on all the awful stuff being done by gangs. But I find the state, national and international news very fascinating and I also think it's important to keep up with what is going on not just in the U.S. but also in other places in the world too.

Trump won the election because he was a better person for the job. If that witch had won this country would be worse than a third world country by now.  The cry babies need to get over it. She is just mad because the TRUTH was exposed. She thought she had covered it up so no one would find out the things she done.

And if you are going to say everything negative reported about her is fake then everything reported about Trump is fake.  You can't have it both ways.

I watch both local and national news on TV and try to switch channels so I get different viewpoints.  I won't say what channel I won't watch because I think the news is so slanted, but I will say that I only watch national news between 15-30 minutes per day because it wears me out anymore and makes me angry at times.

I barely check the news anymore. Life is a bit too busy, thank goodness. Saves my sanity tbh.

Like LeBron James' latest dumba$$ statement the other day about a racist Donald Trump using sports to try to divide the country...  He actually had the gall a while back to call Trump supporters uneducated and then comes up with this crap proving the reverse to be true.


I often wish athletes, actors, and musicians would stick to athletics, acting, and singing.
