Is anyone NOT watching the election on MSM?

[FirstLight]

I've been listening to vibration and meditation music all day. I have a friend who just texted me after starting to watch MSNBC and said it wasn't looking good. I refuse to watch the mainstream news tonight.
Instead, when I am prepared to see what's going on, I will be going on YouTube to Mideas Touch Network, Adam Mockler, and Luke Beasley... With a touch of some Zoltan comedy in between. That's all I can handle. My trauma can't take much more...

[Dem4life1234]

1. I'm not!

[Ocelot II]

2. It's too soon to know anything.

[mitch96]

63. Exactly. Too soon. Maybe in a day or so we will get a better idea of what's going on.

I'm watching the weather channel.

[FirstLight]

21. Thanks for the link!

Right now I might be easier to read things than it is to handle actual TV in my face. Having some PTSD right now

[julmur]

11. Julmur

I’m not, just on DU and about to watch stupid stuff on Netflix. Can’t handle the media coverage anymore

[newdeal2]

12. I think I will wait

I don’t like Steve and the coverage is going to be sensational this early on.

[FirstLight]

28. Dude, kornacky grates my fucking nerves

He's just so manic. I just can't even.

[Amaryllis]

47. The energizer bunny is his brother.

[Clouds Passing]

13. Me. Watching William Shatner.

[kimbutgar]

15. Tonight I'll watch the late night comedian shows from last night

Since they won’t be on tonight !

[stollen]

16. Kentucky and Indianapolis are determined. Red

No shit.

I love Steve Karnaki. I like seeing how particular counties are voting compared to past presidential elections. It seems as though the country is turning more blue.

Steve is very informative as he reports the mathematical data.

[GoCubsGo]

17. Nope.

I have Hal Sparks Election Special Megaworldwide streaming in the background on YouTube, but mostly I'm watching non-election stuff.

[Loryn]

18. I can't take it

Then again, I cancelled cable three years ago.

[FirstLight]

30. I haven't turned Midas on all day yet

I'm trying to prepare myself mentally for the onslaught LOL.

Usually I like a good rough and tumble political fight, but lately since I've had personal stuff happening and a lot of personal trauma I feel really raw. So I will try and see and dip my toe in, but if it freaks me out I'm going to go color or something

[D23MIURG23]

20. Yeah, fuck them. They aren't getting any ratings from me tonight.

I'm not rewarding the horse race pushers.

[FirstLight]

34. +100!!!

Yeah, that too.

[dchill]

22. MSNBC and Brian Tyler Cohen.

[NewHendoLib]

23. I don't watch TV.

Watching The Diplomat on Netflix with my wife. Peeking in here now and then

[maxsolomon]

24. I'm still at work so no.

Only 4:30 out here on the best coast. Sun's not even down!

[peacebuzzard]

25. me.

I just ate a pizza though, and listened to a university radio station. that is all the noise I need tonight.

[Faux pas]

26. I'm not watching anything

only reading here. I won't believe a FUCKING thing until it all over. I will not be prematurely stressed for no reason, thank you very much

[Johonny]

27. Im about to take my kids to soccer practice

The team voted to keep practice open as no one wanted to watch the results. I suspect a lot of people won't doom watch.

[calimary]

29. Husband has the History Channel on.

There's a big part of me that wants to hide from EVERY channel right now. Feels like the suspense is gonna kill me.

[LW1977]

31. Nope

Chris Kornacki is annoying, even if Lawrence O’Donnell is on.

[Island Blue]

32. I'm not. I've had to take my anxiety meds

because I’m not sure I can deal with this. Probably won’t even be on DU for long.

[SheltieLover]

33. Not watching. Just reading here.

[IbogaProject]

35. Cant stomach MSM TV

I read and will follow a few election tabulations.

[LiberalBrooke]

58. I stopped watching TV news when they went to 24 hour news.

They had to make stuff up for the other 23 hours.

[liberaltrucker]

36. I'll be watching on MSNBC starting around 10 PM CST.

Lurking here and watching NCIS reruns until then.

[Blasphemer]

37. Me... I never watch the MSM anymore... nt

[proud patriot]

38. I'm watching MSNBC

call me a geek but I just love kornacki.

[raccoon]

39. I'm not.

[tinymontgomery]

40. I'm watching 'America: Fact vs Fiction

More interesting right now.

[Hekate]

41. I've taken a couple of hours off to watch YouTube vids from In Deep Geek and Nerd of the Rings

Really, really calming, in their own way..

[TBF]

42. Nope - just reading on here is stressful enough. nt

[Oopsie Daisy]

43. Browsing DU and streaming "Elsbeth" on Paramount+.

[Different Drummer]

44. I'm not.

I got disgusted with it and am now watching something on ESPNU.

[Xavier Breath]

45. Watching Leafs/Bruins game.

Need to let the dust settle another hour or two before I'll even bother to turn it on.

[samnsara]

46. i watched Adam some then Mideas touch now Im watching bones

...and peeking in once in awhile

[Jason1961]

48. You have to be able to read between the lines

Don't get all your info from TV or they'll have you on the edge of your seat all night, it's what they're supposed to do

Things are going well, we're fine and Harris will be declared the victor tonight

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

49. I'm watching "Nightmare Tenants, Slum Landlords"

on Amazon.

Also, I don't need to bother watching the returns, because I already know Harris will win, although I don't know by what kind of margin. A man named Alan Lichtman has correctly predicted election results since 1980 based on 13 keys, as he calls them. He's also predicted back to 1860, again using those keys. Just Google "Alan Lichtman" and watch any one of the interviews with him.

I'm just hoping Harris will be declared our next President early enough for me to justify opening the small bottle of bubbly I've bought for tonight.

Now back to my show.

[Beacool]

50. I'm not watching it.

I watched it in 2016, by 2:30 AM I was heartbroken to realize that Hillary was not going to be president. It's too stressful. I'm watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I'll check here for updates.

[Dem4life1234]

57. Yeah I'm checking my beloved DU here for updates

[Beacool]

61. Yep, it's easier on my stress level.

[Dem4life1234]

62. Absolutely!

[Politicub]

51. I'm watching MSNBC

No shame in it.

I don’t care for Steve Kornaki, though.

[brer cat]

52. I'm not. I gave up television over 10 years ago.

[AllyCat]

53. Me. Not watching M$M.

Had BTC’s YouTube channel on for a bit, taking a break.

[Jilly_in_VA]

54. ME

My anxiety levels are bad enough, thank you very much.

[marble falls]

55. 100% done with the "news" til tomorrow. If I see one more poll, I'm hammer damaging my screen.

[Jk23]

56. Just glancing at the updates in the guardian. NT

[ribrepin]

59. I'm watching Amazon coverage for now

Brian Williams is supposed to be anchoring, but I haven't seen much of him.

[louis-t]

60. I will NOT be watching.

Must...remain...calm.

[Talitha]

64. I'm having a Perry Mason marathon.

All 9 seasons.

[DFW]

65. I'm not

I just got to Dallas, would have been at the house watching tv but got kidnapped for a dinner for overseas divisions. People here from Tokyo, GB, NL, Italy, Germany, even Chicago. HK got delayed in L.A.

I’ll have plenty of time to check later on. It’s only 7:30 PM here.

[love_katz]

66. I have Hal Sparks Mega worldwide streaming on YouTube.

He's doing a 24 hour marathon, and he's had great guests on, so far.

Like everyone, I am on tenter hooks, so I am surfing DU, with breaks for playing a game on my phone.

I also have plenty of mundane chores to do, since the house elves are on strike.

There may be consumption of either a cold beer, or some or some in my future.
Not all of them at once

Trying to stay calm, and keep in mind that I have done all that I can, for now.
