I really depend on DU to keep me informed from a certain perspective

[Delph]

I just can't listen to the news and talking heads anymore. It literally makes my blood pressure go up. I can't have news on while just going about my business. It makes me queasy and angry. So even though I haven't been here the couple of years, I have kept up with stuff from roughly my perspective, by reading the posts here. And until we get to an actual impeachment vote, that's what I'll keep doing. It's a way of keeping up with things, without getting sick over them. Thanks for that- and thanks for keeping up with the stuff that make me want to puke.

1. Welcome to DU! You're so right

This site has been my lifesaver!

10. I totally agree!!! The msm is all owned by conservatives who dictate what is said. I do not mind the

truth even if I dislike it but I will be damned if I will be brainwashed by them.

2. I don't come here as much anymore

But I check in a few times a week probably. Just to see what the reaction is to all of this news etc. I pretty much avoid the TV news a lot now because it has just gotten beyond ridiculous that they are not just saying what is going on- we have a fake president and one party compromised supporting him, who is a career criminal who has betrayed the country and who is insane etc. I’m just sick of it all being normalized. I get a lot of news from free online sources as well.

3. I rely on DU too, for news and humor since I don't watch or read any US media.

International sources are much better. Thanks DU, for all you do!

4. I go off and on like that too.

Somehow reading and writing are useful for my brain to absorb and consider but the shows make me jumpy. I used to watch them but it is so bad now I cannot. My husband has them on all the time, we are both retired. I put on my headphones and listen to books or just use the noise cancelling and read here.

5. I like a few sources. DU certainly being one of them.

Also "Democracy Now", and Thom Hartmann has some great perspective on the news. M$M frustrates me and besides it has too many commercials, but I DVR Rachel Maddow for her perspective and fast forward through the commercials, same with Lawrence O'Donnell, just because he has the best Trump bashing.
