This leaves me with poor OTA network reception, but saving $87/month and nearly 100% less Trump and propaganda, so... Critique THAT tradeoff.

They regurgitate the same divisive hyperbolic bullshit, not to inform, but to incite, thinking it will attract viewers to their circus.

There are plenty of avenues to get news without listening to the punditry garbage on cable or satellite outlets, which mostly is slanted to the right anyway.

I also don’t miss it one bit. Waste of time, “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”

I wish this website had a section for cable news watchers so they could spare the rest of us who are tired of thread after thread after thread of cable news watchers complaining about what they saw in those news channels.

Turn them off already!

not all cable news is equal. i want to help keep MSNBC in business. Russians can only dream of a news source like that. They go to jail for even trying. The propaganda won't go away. It will grow even. So lets keep the real reporting alive. It's what keeps Democracy alive.
