That's how I survived the Obama era. Just skim the news once in a while, got busy. I know I'll have to make a lot of adjustments and leave my comfort zone, but it's times like this I'm glad I broke the TV habit.
I can't imagine NOT breaking the TV habit. I know of people who just watch shows constantly, and the quality of them that I've seen lately is just pathetic. Is there nothing more valuable one can do with their time?
Right with you on that. It wasn't a conscious decision with me, just something that has evolved over the past few years. Sitcoms, movies, fake dramas, and even faker 'reality' TV were the first to go, leaving me switching between FOX/CNN/CSPAN until I shut them off a couple years ago. What's that you say? There's some wonderful content on Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, etc? Dreck, all of it. Pass.
Ozark is the newest thing I've seen and enjoyed. Other than that, it all quite literally feels like propaganda. Even the 4th season of Fargo they ruined. If I'm going to watch something, I just go back to the same 4-5 shows from a few years ago that I love.
Same here brother. For 8 years I stopped watching TV because I couldn't stomach Obama. By the time Obama was out of office, I was completely broken of my TV habit and have never watched anything again. If anything I just watch old movies I have but I never watch any TV anymore.

There's always reruns of Gilligan's Island and The Beverly Hillbillies.
The "reality TV shows" are all scripted. Trust me, I know.
Even the food network blows for the most part.
Good advice

I tried with his first State Of The Union. I just couldn't, I can't take him or Hillary's voice at all.
I will not be watching anything Biden or the whore says. If this site doesn't drown in trolls, I'm sure I'll get most of the gist here.
