6. I can't bear the TV coverage.

Mar 2016

The fawning over Trump and the repetition of inanities with no substantive reporting whatsoever.

So I just refer to the NYT website and coverage of the elections (http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/us/elections/primary-calendar-and-results.html?_r=0), while watching something else entirely on TV. Last night, it was the most recent episode of "Black Sails" and a recorded season finale of "Doc Martin" on cable, along with Season 8, Episode 2 of "Foyle's War" on Netflix. I've also begun watching "Skinwalkers: The Navajo Mysteries" on Netflix.

Fans of Tony Hillerman's novels will recognize Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee, along with a primarily Native American cast, in the last.

It makes for a much more pleasant evening.

The NYT also has separate sites, with charts for each state race as it happens, e.g., yesterday in LA. http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/louisiana
