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”
