Lauren, just curious, how many hours of American cable news did you watch between June 16, 2015 and Nov. 8, 2016?
I don't watch cable news. Waste of time -- other than to find out what bs is being fed to us. So, in that spirit, maybe 10 hours.
Same here, total waste of time and several months ago we cut the cable altogether and I do not miss it at all. I watch PBS when I go upstairs to bed. Great documentaries and no commercials. Had PBS on for election results. I actually predicted Trump would win because people are sick of the Bush Clinton Crime families.
I cut off my cable Wednesday morning.
I refuse to watch The Donald J Trump Show Starring Donald J Trump.
It used to be just CNN/MSNBC/Fox.
Now it's all news broadcasts. NPR, BBC, RT, Al-jaz.
I can't watch any of it.
It's like my eyes have been singed out of my skull by watching something like 3000 hours (earlier I estimated 2000, but that's low) of CNN/MSNBC/FOX from June 16, 2015 to around 9 pm PST 11/8/2016.
Now I feel queasy just turning the TV on.
I listen to the Warrior games on the radio.
Post-election-stress-disorder.
I'm not kidding.
