Who else is tired of politics dominating the daily news?

Obviously the tragic events at the Capitol, the elections, and the transition of power warrant new coverage. That said it's been years of non-stop political rhetoric every day. I can remember a time when there were lulls in political news. Man I miss that.

I miss the days when the news was just read and the anchors didn’t have a whole hour to tell us their views.

@Keepitsimple It’s no longer the news, it’s the evening opinion.

@Keepitsimple Thats why I haven’t watched the news in over a year.

I allow myself a half hour right now. It’s too stressful and I feel a sense of doom if I listen to long. @jackson55

@Keepitsimple We moved to a new house in the mountains and there’s no tv reception here. I have internet but no cable or satellite so no tv and that’s ok with me.

@jackson55 you can get everything you need with the internet. Don’t need cable to know that the world is screwed up right now ;(

@Keepitsimple I live in a little town where daily politics don’t have much effect. Life is pretty normal here.

@Keepitsimple 100%
Also, didn't try to put flair and emotion into what they were reading.

It's the news, not creative writing and storytelling.

@MethDozer They all talk over each other and fight and I don’t want to listen to what they think, I just want the facts. That’s all.
