I no longer follow much news on TV anymore in an effort to maintain my cheery self. There are some "non-mainstream" news outlets I follow and some local feeds through FB. I have found that reducing my exposure has made me a happier person. Time for me to focus on my immediate needs and screw the rest as there is nothing I can do abut it other than increase my blood pressure.
I've been in that same pattern for several years. I really used to enjoy watching the Today show in the mornings but since Trump was elected it's turned into a **** show like all the rest. The news was on in the break room while I was eating dinner yesterday evening and Lester Holt was on spewing his slanted BS which is what sparked the question.
