Is anybody else boycotting tv and radio today?

[Hekate]

I feel like I could write their scripts myself, and Mad King Donald will still be headed to the White House and Tinyhands Trump will still make my skin crawl.

I played my Christmas Carols, went out to the drugstore for some new bandaids, and at the moment my husband is watching the news in another room, god love him.

Maybe I'll do that tomorrow, too.

1. Boycott the M$M.

I threw the TV out about 10 years ago, the internet is better. I listen to NPR in the mornings, but that is it.

[NRaleighLiberal]

16. we kept the TV so we could watch movies on it - cut the cable 8 years ago

[sheshe2]

2. LOL!

I have boycotted them for the last 4 years.

I never watch TV ....only for the elections.

Luv ya.

[Lanius]

3. I quit cable news

I got tired of the sensationalism and non-reporting of the cable news shows, so I cut the cord months ago. I also have never really watched network news. So, basically, I'm boycotting mainstream media and I feel I'm getting much better information from online sources and the BBC.

4. Re-boycotting msnbc,

and hoping for some entertainment. Those sobs, along with cnn and others, I understand, GAVE us trump, 24/7. FUCK them.

[femmocrat]

5. I am, too.

I have boycotted network and cable news since November 9. I only watch local news and when they show you-know-who, I switch channels.

Tonight instead of MSNBC, I am watching AGT Christmas special and the Great American Baking Show.

[hlthe2b]

6. Haven't watched since the Nov 8 debacle

Like many, I am having a hard time

[bravenak]

7. I stopped watching on election night

I had severely limited my intake before that, but that was enough for me. I did not finish the night and have never seen the coverage and never will

[Laurian]

8. Haven't watched or listened since the election.

Nothing useful to be found there.

[randr]

9. The MSM may be the only ones left

Who may tell us the truth.

[shenmue]

10. I stayed away from U.S. news until fairly late

[duffyduff]

11. I have refused to watch all cable news programs since

the debates ended. I will not return.

[blue cat]

12. I won't even surf through news channels.

I'd watch a clip posted here but that is it.

[Historic NY]

13. I haven't watch the moron newsfeed people in years...

you want to send a message stop viewing enmasse. Secondly it might help with recapturing reality.

[underthematrix]

14. Not today

But I mostly watch OWN and ABC. I record Joy Reid's MSNBC news program on Saturday and Sunday. Very very professional. I just watched Joy Reid on the Internet. She's filling in for Chris Matthews on Hardball. That's the only time, I'm not watching OWN or ABC.

However, on Jan 20, 2017 beginning at 12:01am and ending Jan 21, 2017 at 12:01am I will be going completely silent. All electronic devices will be off. I will not purchase anything, drive or use public transportation.

[Hekate]

18. Jan. 20 I'll be preparing to go to the march in Los Angeles. No tv, but I'll have to check my email.

Due to an accident of geography (the curve of the coastline) we can only get one channel without cable or satellite, and that one very badly.

I'm looking forward o the protest march. I'm paying a friend's way on the charter bus, too.

[underthematrix]

25. That's good and very courageous of you.

[NRaleighLiberal]

15. I turned off all TV 8 years ago, and listen to hardly any radio.

Movies, books, music, reading. No talking heads, no ads - nope. never again.

[WilliamH1474]

24. I have started doing the same things

I just can't deal with the stress anymore, and I am sick of the dog-pilling that goes on in the media.

[marybourg]

17. I've been boycotting TV for about 45 years.

I've been listening to NPR about as long, but since Oct., I've only been turning it on at mealtimes to avoid missing anything critical. I object to their normalizing of the tRump and I told them so. Their ombudsperson said she agreed with me.

There's still nothing better than them out there, unfortunately.

[HeartachesNhangovers]

23. 55 years for me. I don't think I've missed a thing, either.

[RealityChik]

19. Not boycotting but...

Just so exhausted by all the news reports and sources being so clueless and getting everything so wrong. And the drama of it all. The talking heads! My insides were getting so twisted and over-wound into a knot, I had to turn it all off just to get relief!

The only good thing I watched was the Town Hall with Chris Hays and Bernie in Wisconsin. That gave me hope.

[jimlup]

20. Good for you but January 20th will be worse...

I'm planning on being at a demonstration. Either locally or in Washington DC. Don't think I can afford the DC trip though.

[AgadorSparticus]

21. I do that just about every day. Cable news is nothing but propaganda. Cut the cord!

It's not like you're going dark. In fact, you will get more news when you seek other options.

[Cha]

22. Yes, but that's my usual..

[mwooldri]

26. Foreign Media.

So what I'm hearing...

Truck ploughs into Christmas Market in Berlin.
Russian Amabassor shot dead in Turkey.
Ban-Ki-Moon warns of genocide in South Sudan.
President of DR Congo still in power, his last day was 12/19.

Oh, now Donald Trump did win the electoral college... but that's not the big news.

Thank you Auntie Beeb.

33. Catch this?

Exploiting the Tragedy of Aleppo

[C Moon]

27. Today? How about since November 8th.

[Nwgirl503]

28. I don't even have TV and radio in Mexico

Wish I had chosen to not be online tho. Good news is I drank myself into a stupor before nightfall. God speed to all of us. It's gonna be darkest before it dawns.

[angrychair]

29. Yep. nt

[pnwmom]

30. I haven't watched TV news since November 8th.

I can't even stand to see a clip of that face/voice turn up in a comedy show . . . unless it's Alec Baldwin on SNL.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

31. Went to Arizona Charlie's with the wife for some free play and then Kmart for a tin of popcorn.

[elmac]

32. I have since Nov 9th

There is no news, just the uber rich propaganda networks.

[demosincebirth]

34. I haven't watched cable news since Nov. 8th

[oldtime dfl_er]

35. Haven't watched since election night

Now I subscribe to the Guardian and the Washington Post, and I am much better informed than I ever was before.

[Binkie The Clown]

36. I boycott TV and radio every day. Have for 20 years. n/t

[a kennedy]

37. Yup.....haven't been able to watch, or listen to ANY so called news networks.

Done with them all except for my local news on tv. I watched Oprah's interview with Michelle Obama and bawled through it all, knowing that the next "first lady" is a joke. I refuse to listen or watch ANYTHING about the next puke in chief.

[Paladin]

38. I walked away from it after election day. (nt)

[Gothmog]

39. I am
