4. What?

No regular news programming, except 60 minutes if there is something hot on.

C-Span only.

I sleep until 1pm;) nix, nada, zero.

But I check a lot of things out on the internet and YouTube, Crooks & Liars.

5. No news
I watch Judge Judy when I get home from work. That's it until Law & Order comes back on in January, and then I'll only watch it for Sam Waterston. They've cut down his role, so it could be I'll even stop watching that.

6. Not much..
K.O., Real Time, NFL in season.

Used to watch the Sunday news shows, but they are totally propaganda now. I sleep in on Sundays.

7. The Daily Show and Colbert Report.
We record them and watch them over the next night's dinner.

Fast forward through the commercials.

That's about it.

8. Local news in the morning for weather and traffic
Evening News - used to be ABC now back to NBC

Olbermann and Jon Stewart whenever possible, Colbert occasionally.

CBS Sunday Morning.


Movies if there are good ones. "The Closer" and "Damages" on Cable

And when the new season starts - will see what's cooking.

10. Well folks, I guess I'm the traitor here tonight.
I start every morning with he Washington Journal on cspan, then switch to CNN in the background and AAR streaming on the net. Sometimes I switch to MSNBC just to see if they have anything interesting. I do however spend most of my time on the net and DU.

I watch the S
ituation Room, Hardball, Olbermann & TDS each night, then streat AAR or KGO until I fall asleep.

Yes, I'm retired, but there's not too much, at least political, that I miss!

11. Nope - finally cut off the cable. We miss Stewart and Colbert and
Keith, but are much, much happier not turning on the box. Everything from the Sunday NY Times or the Internet (on a daily basis).

12. Probably more than most of you
I am disabled so I am home a lot. I watch Keith, The Daily Show and Colbert daily. I will watch hearings on the computer as Dish doesn't carry CSpan 3. I watch the News Hour, Dan Rather Reports and Bill Moyers. I do have to watch How Clean Is Your House on BBC. Most of the time I read.

13. I watch Amy Goodman every morning with my coffee.
Washington Journal most days, for the headlines.

That's it. No Keith or Jon any more because of scheduling. Plus, I hated that two headed kitten story. lol

14. Not at all
Since I moved in June (due to divorce), I never even bothered to have cable or anything hooked up. All I have is a little 12" TV and it's sitting in the junk room. I can watch The Daily Show in pieces on comedycentral.com. That and 60 Minutes are all I'd been watching for the past couple of years anyway. I get all my news online.

17. We haven't had television for about 5 years.
No real regrets. We made a road trip last fall and enjoyed watching KO, but not enough to want to get hooked back up.

18. No, no time spent watching TV although I do watch the youtube snap shots
...of the really worthwhile programs. I will stop watching as well the moment corporations begin insert their propaganda ads in those excerpts to sell us things.

23. Yup.. that's how I feel-- no URL, it doesn't exist!
I've been cableless for a year now and no tv all summer. I do see quite a bit of video (e.g. Olbermann) on the "internets" however.
