watch the talking heads much anymore. I turn on the TV in the morning to see if earth is still alive, that's about it. And Morning Jerk, what a deplorable show that is.

It's bullshit.

How anybody can lipstick this is nuts.

If it were genuine reporting, I'd watch, but putting Trump surrogates on to spout bullshit, no thank you.

Can't stomach evening news. Have been watching PBS, though.
Gwen Ifill RIP.

Good to know it's watchable. I've been getting news here and reading some good online articles in the New Yorker and Rolling Stone.

I found it extra hard to lose Ifill and Leonard Cohen in this time. One wonders...

Tried once or twice and couldn't stomach it. Surreal. Have not watched MSNBC for sure. Not sure why. I was thinking though how I loved to watch during Obama's presidency. Gave me a sense of calm and safety. Too much of a whiplash here. Very disorienting.

I am sick to death of the ego maniacs that make up the talking heads. They are probably still over confident even though they were all wrong. They elected trump.

profit-seeking product is being a sucker asking for more. I turned it off, and it stays off. TV news, except for PBS, hit the dust years ago.
