4. After the election, I stopped watching the news, prefer to read to keep up on the news.

But, I also have closed caption, (I have mild hearing loss and use hearing aides) always turned on because I always miss a word or two. That is so funny "sicko pants." I lol from your story. It almost makes me want to turn on the new, but I can't, gives me high blood pressure and stresses me out.

5. I watch videos posted online. I never watch TV--don't even have one, in fact.

Lol.
