that I don't have to see any campaign ads for Donald Trump.
Or any reality shows.

Just use streaming media and torrents to see what you want.

(43,182 posts)2. Yeah, I live in Florida and I haven't seen a single Trump campaign ad.
A sporatic anti-Hillary PAC ad here and there, and a fair amount of Hillary's own ads. But nary an official Trump ad.
In Florida.
The swing states of all swing states.

(58,785 posts)6. I've read that a major ad campaign for Trump
by a PAC starts August 30, air time already purchased. And, of course, now Trump is doing some himself.

(4,465 posts)3. I rarely watch TV, reading instead.
Never having watched the stupid reality shows, network series, and garbage political shows where people constantly interrupt each other, it seems by reading, I am better informed, and more able to form my own opinions.

In any case, he has yet to run any ads. I want to see them. I'm shamelessly rubbernecking.

Don't see any TV "news."
