News Media
Is anybody else getting sick of the News media thru the TV stations, continuing to discontinue regular programming for hours upon hours to show "BREAKING NEWS". I am one that is trying to get away from the doom and glooming that the News media wants to always present us.
I like alot of the programs that they are preempting. There are already many strictly News channels. Why can't they present their stories etc on those channels and give us a FREEDOM OF CHOICE to what we want to watch. They could leave the regular programing alone and just let everyone know that they can watch the "BREAKING NEWS' on another channel by putting the info at the bottom of the TV screen. Yes i know i could watch on Netflix etc. but they don't have the programs that i like. Does anyone agree? |

We had enough of the story when we heard about it and now let us be entertained instead of the same thing over and over giving the networks viewpoint

Recording has its virtues!
I do not watch anything live on TV anymore. Everything that I might want to watch, I record. I therefore fast forward through the cr*p, be it commercials or the endless droning on and on for stories that never seem to end. For example, I did attempt to tune into TNT to watch the Nets/Sixers game and sure enough, the announcing team was pontificating on the current "hot news" and politics. I turned it off and since I have NBA League pass, signed in and am streaming the game.
I watch no news programs since their content has proven biased time and time again. I used to try to catch the weather, but found that the bias even crept into the intro of the weather. I'll stay with using a very reliable weather app that I have and ignore the rest. Life is so much less stressful than hearing such drivel on a daily basis.

All about competition and ratings......and our market isn't really their market. Our demographic isn't attractive to advertisers......and both the tv stations and the advertisers have large marketing departments that tell them what works and doesn't work. If you have cable you might find what you want to watch on the on demand channel

The topic is saturation of breaking news coverage across many channels. Please stay on topic or the thread will be closed.

What has occurred in this country has never happened before. Last closest event like this was about 150 years ago. Never has our democracy been under seige ever like this. Never has so much rubbish disinformation been thrown at people. Never have we had to confront one lying conspiracy theory after another. Point is...it is the future of your children and grand chikdren. How can you not care ? How can you turn your back on your country’s future ? |

How can you read something like this (and I certainly cannot confirm accuracy) and turn your back to watch movies.
If our country was under different attack, would you care ? How do you face your kids and grandkids and say, you don’t care ? US allies say Trump attempted coup with help from federal law enforcement - Business Insider Yes, it takes time to search the truth, but at this moment in history, we better be paying attention to truth, because the next coup or insurrection may be successful and it does matter, a lot, whether we know truth. |

I've seen the threads that have been shut down today. You're on the same side you were on yesterday. All of the other people that replied are still on the same sides they were on yesterday. So as I see it the only thing that's happened over the past couple days has really accomplished nothing except to keep your blood pressure up. Now before you go and tell me that I should be upset about what happened yesterday, I am. But that's not the topic of this thread. News overload is.

I agree there is too much repetition these days on TV networks. I think it's mostly been because of the pandemic and the special political times we are experiencing. I look forward to both those topics not being so relevant soon.
