I realized that MSNBC and CNN are not much better than FOX. Done with them. They've normalized insanity by giving insanity equal time.

I have not turned on cable news for one minute since the elections and I suspect millions of other Dems have also tuned out.

I might get some flack for this, but I hold Rachel Maddow most responsible among the media. She was awful and absolutely hammered Hillary for the last several weeks of the election. She looked visibly shaken when Trump won, I think out of guilt more than anything. The media wanted a horse race, they kept Trump in it and then the FBI gave him the win. It was sickening. If the media had done it's job rather than just try to create ratings this would have been a blowout.
