11. I already voiced my disappointment on Rachel's blog - not that it will do any good ..

Mar 2016

When they gassed Olbermann, I cancelled MSNBC and told them so.

I've watched the odd video online (Rachel or Lawrence O'Donnell sometimes) and saw a stream of some of the debates they've had.

Otherwise, I haven't really missed it.

I can't watch the Sunday shows anymore as they seem about 70-80% Republican.

In July, fed up with cable news, I cancelled cable tv. I couldn't take it any more. So much garbage.

I stream the sports I want online. And I cruise the top news sites on the net - including a number that are not US because, quite frankly, they're not as biased and often better/objective or kind of refreshing. I feel better informed and I get informed when I feel like it - not when the nightly news comes on and I'm trying to eat.

I haven't missed it and I think I'm getting a better bang for my time and entertainment.
