"Watching" is a very low-bandwidth way to consume news. I stopped watching about 8 years ago. I'm glad to see that the rest of the world has caught on!
FWIW, I generally know about everything a day before it hits the major news outlets. After being freed from the slow, commercial-filled news cycle of tv and radio, who would ever want to go back to such a slow delivery system?
- h1d 10y agoTV news is such a joke, in 20 minutes you get to see 1 important topic of the day and a couple random things you don't even want to know about in a hope that they will tell you something interesting which will not be the case. Using the web you can narrow that down to 5 minutes without occupying your mind memory too much to something uninteresting which I think is important to keep some room to fill in or use for your creativity. Also for other reasons that TVs are not productive, I ditched that thing 10 years ago after getting out of college. Never missed it.
