the main reason i stopped watching the news

[orleans]

is b/c i'm sick to death of donald fucking trump and all his fucking republicans

we've been seeing him as one of the constants in news since june 16, 2015 (i googled)

what is the lesson to be learned here?

you want your name in the press every day for nearly ten years (and running) then all you have to do is simply be the biggest, dumbest, most obnoxious, narcissistic, piece of shit, over the fucking top ASSHOLE in the world who dances like a total moron because you're such a LOSER

trump doesn't even have to try; he's just himself, checking all those categories and that makes him the biggest, dumbest, most obnoxious, narcissistic, piece of shit, over the fucking top ASSHOLE in the world who dances like a total moron because he's such a LOSER!

1. I stopped watching news in Oct. same reason

On DU, I can ignore the links that mention traitor.

But streaming shows just ran one clip after another of traitor. I was driving myself crazy hitting mute, so I just shut it off. Anyway, msm isn't news. It's talking heads offering opinions.

2. thanks for articulating it so clearly (nt)

3. Hell, I stopped watching cable news after 2016

I don't know why more people haven't done the same.

Every time the angry orange idiot's ugly-assed face has been on TV, I turn... Even the slurred sound of his voice puts me into a rage...

4. I read DU - it's about the only connection to news I have.

Most here knows that this will be the make or break America moment that this country has ever faced. I blame social media. It's Organized Crime in charge now, folks.

5. Yep. I can't stand the sight of him nor the sound of his voice.

I try to avoid places I know he’ll show up.

[Conjuay]

7. what?

like teen USA dressing rooms?

[Jimmy76]

13. absolute agreement

badhair nailed that, he is so ugly as a person, such a crap leader, such a liar and bully jackanapes..I first realized how much I despised him at the 2016 Hillary debate where he kept walking at her while she was speaking, what a rude cretin....I never did watch his repulsive tv show more than a few minutes, knew he was not my idea of entertainment, just a POS. Now I feel better!

6. Yes that is why

Our corporate media covers him. He gives them content. Unfortunately the only so called progressive channel msnbc seems to love him the most. Stump is all they have talked about for 10 fucking years. He makes them money. I can't watch that channel anymore. At least cnn and the networks report on other news. msnbc is nothing but Trump 24-7 a huge waste of time.

8. CEO of CBS admitted this in 2016. He makes us money. It's all they care about. Truth and honest journalism?

12. Les Moonves

There used to be video of that on the YouTube been scrubbed last time I looked

[Borogove]

9. My sentiments exactly.

[a kennedy]

10. I HATE HIM AND ALL HIS GAWD DAMN MAGA's..........

🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬. 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬. Sorry I hope there are 47 of these.

11. We still expect the media to be the adults in the room. They aren't.

Seriously, I know I’m behind the times but I realized that I expected the news people to be the adults. To be the people looking for the truth and willing to print it. They aren’t and perhaps they never will be again. It makes me sad and it makes me angry. I trusted them. That was my mistake. I’ll own that. Will they ever own their betrayal?

14. Zactly.

Crazy cruel clown show. Irrelevant.

Hold yer fire...

[Hoosier_Progressiv]

15. I quit watching years ago

Main Stream New does not report facts. They tell a story about something, then a bunch of "experts" are brought on to explain some version of what was "reported." The worst part is people do not care. I want to know the facts.

16. Trump got $ billions in free campaign ads...

masquerading as 'news'. Every single freaking day for the past 9 years. I'm sick of it.

[stollen]

17. I watch MSNBC

nightly

18. Just be useful to the handful of oligarchs owning 90% of the media that the public consumes.
