No more news

[potluck6]

Hardly watch cnn unless something is happening. watch the local news most of the time till they start with the weather.

I watch to keep up on the generals, but don't watch all the discussions and arguments.

I understand folks that no longer want to watch the news, completely understandable.   I wish there was a news channel that only reported good news, there is a lot of good news out there.

I respect people that are Trump supporters, some of my friends are and we have had many discussions about our differences.  I have NEVER called a Trump supporter any negative name, NEVER.  Yet, I also read/hear folks that are Trump supporters call anyone who is not names.  Why is that?  Why can we not respect each other's differences?   I have valid reasons for not voting for Trump.  I voted on what is important to me.  Why does that make me a person that should be called names by supporters of Trump?

Some things I keep up with like the soccer team rescue.  I prefer positive things also because all this childish stuff and name calling is bad for the country.

That was a great story to follow but I have to admit, there were times I was stressed worrying if they would get them all out safe and sound.  It was a great story to follow.

   Very well said!  It is all very depressing.
   What a waste of time!

I used to get the Daily News delivered to me.I enjoyed the sports section,comics and Jumble.I would glance at the news and sometimes be sorry i read it if it was sad.I followed the Cosby BS and other stuff too.I havent had it delivered now since Xmas.I enjoy reading late at night before i go to sleep,but i can take it or leave it.There are better reading options then the worldly BS!!

I watch the news often, but it is very negative and frustrating.

I watch the news, but I have a filter in my brain that automatically trashes the real crap. This fire season is something I appreciated knowing about and how so many brave men lost their lives protecting us.

I haven't watched national news in a long time.  I will look online and read any articles that are of interest to me.  I do watch our local news, though.

[makeblessed]

Yes  right now there is a lot of negative and almost hatred news all over the networks; like you I just turn it off sometimes just don't want to hear anymore.

[autumnsparklemom]

I am sick of the news. It is awful.

[bigfoot951]

I am completely with you.  I don't watch the news and haven't watch it for quite a number of years.  All of my friends that watch it are always talking about what they saw on the news and they are always in a bad mood because of it.  What purpose does that serve?  I have no place for such negativity in my life.

I've noticed that most of the news comes from Twitter the day or several hours prior.... might as well just look at Twitter. Don't read the comments thought there is so much hate there... ain't no one got time for that.

I stopped watching the news & listening to talk radio shortly after 9-11... when everyone practically watched the news 24-7.  After months, I realized it was all so negative & it just sucked all the happiness & life out, it's not like we can change anything so I decided to just ignore it.  I just started watching news again November 8, 2016 when Trump was winning the Presidential election -- the updates on the cable news regarding the election, was faster then what was reported on the internet.

I still watch the local and national news.  Want to be kept up to date about what is happening around the city and world.  Just try to ignore some the bad or stupid stuff that happens
