[UdoKier]

Poll question: Have you been watching TV news since Black Tuesday?

Have you been watching TV news since Black Tuesday?

I barely have, but I get the feeling it's pretty bad just from the spin I see on cnn.ccom andd Yahoo.

[Placebo]

1. NO, and I am a news ADDICT.

I just can't take it, all these republicans gloating, acting like jesus himself just came down from heaven and voted for Bush, it's sickening.

[okieinpain]

11. same here, no c-span, no - hardball, nothing. playing doom3

[Nevernose]

24. FarCry here -- Doom3 was too dark to see

So I thought it sucked.

[Joe the Revelator]

2. I normally listen or watch 5-6 hours of news a night....

but i have not been able to bring myself to even turn it on since the 3rd.

[NanBo]

3. All simpsons

all the time. That's my take on tv nowdays...

[Lilli]

4. I dont shoot the messenger

I havent watched any news though...I am waiting till I hear that they have started reporting about all the voting problems....then I'll think about it. :)

[GingerSnaps]

5. I will never turn my TV back on

Thank you for giving it the name of "Black Tuesday".

[Shopaholic]

6. I managed 5 whole minutes of

Countdown last night--and I adore Keith Olbermann. I just couldn't make myself watch it. Other than that, I've avoided it like the plague. And yes, I'm a news addict. I've been surviving on Air America and DU.

[Oreo]

7. I started listening to music and reading books again

I listen to AAR for a few minutes here and there.

I deleted all my browser's news favorites except for the BBC.

[Baja Margie]

8. Nope

[AimeeMM]

9. Nope, and I'm a news junkie

I won't watch until I know they're covering some real stories and not just a bunch of gloating fools talking about a mandate.

Mandate my big white ass.

[Love Bug]

10. Nope.

They call all kiss my ass.

[RamboLiberal]

12. Only Countdown with Keith O. Daily Show and a little of Aaron Brown

No more Tweety. No more Paula. No Faux ever(they weren't on my list to begin with anyway).

Might also watch Lou Dobbs once in a while.

Got DVD's to catch up on. Alias 3rd season, West Wing 2nd season(that one's going to make me blue), 24 3rd season(when it comes out). Also looking forward to Alias and 24's new season in January.

I might start to tune in when it's time for the '08 primaries - be interesting to see if the Repugs tear themselves to pieces. Be fun to watch them trash each other especially watch the koolaid drinkers trash Rudy.

And be interesting to see what Dems run.

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. NOT ONE MINUTE!

I'm done!

[kerry-is-my-prez]

14. Only the Daily Show, then Olbermann, PBS, Charlie Rose.

n/t

[Cush]

15. not yet

I did the same after the 2002 midterms, boycott for awhile then slowly come back, but selective in what I watch

[Lydia Leftcoast]

16. I may watch some tonight, but it will probably be

BBCAmerica, and not the news, but the three 1960s series, The Avengers, The Prisoner, and The Saint.

The very thought of watching the news makes me angry. I keep up with things, but only through newspapers and the Internet.

At least I can be sure that there will be no political attack ads on!

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. nope. Not one minute of bullshit news. n/t

[Mountainman]

18. No, I think it would be a good thing if liberals boycotted the cable news

They would see their ratings go down.

They have nothing to teach me if it is all propaganda for the right.

[Awsi Dooger]

19. Have not turned my TV on PERIOD since Tuesday night

Extremely happy with that decision. Turned it off when Florida was gone. Saturday for college football telecasts I'll rejoin the world in limited doses.

[terrya]

20. No. Thank God for "Seinfeld" reruns. eom

[FrenchieCat]

21. LISTENING TO

AAR ONLY

[Tom_Foolery]

22. I haven't watched any TV news...

I've just been reading my local paper and getting the truth here at DU. I'll probably start watching TV news after January 20th, and then only PBS and maybe Olbermann.

I figure the US will really start going farther down hill by then, and I want to watch the Repukes come up with the answers as to why it's happening.

[bigwillq]

23. Just a bit

I feel lost when i don't watch the news. DU helps with certain news events but not with everything.

I have just been watching local news but they still talk at times about all this election stuff.

[MidwestMomma]

25. Turned off MSNBC Wed AM about 12:30 am when they started

Kerry's eulogy and haven't gone back.

Only 2 things to get me back to watching cable news:

1) The impeachment hearings for George W Bush
2) The landing of aliens at the UN

:-)

[mandyky]

26. Minimal

I switched channels when CSpan had that witch Mona Charrin on this morning. Usually I watch WJ and about an hour of CNN afterwards, for a run thru of the headlines.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. I was hardly watching before the "election"

and since then I have watched only Animal Planet, CSI and some X-Files reruns. I now get all my news from AAR and the various and sundry Internets. I have been a news junkie for years, but I just can't tolerate what TV news has become.

:nuke:

[The River]

28. Set the Home Indoctrination Unit to the Weather Channel

and Super Glued every button on the remote
but the on-off and volume control.
Who would have guessed that TV weather
would be the only honest show on cable?

[ikojo]

29. I am swearing off television news programs until at least

March 2005. From now until the inauguration it will be fluff stories about Bush and the Republicans. After the inauguration they will portray him as reaching out. I don't need to see the whitewash.

I do listen to Air America so I will keep abreast of current events.

[noamnety]

30. No, I tried

Everytime I turn on a channel it's some crap like Scarborough tonight talking about how amazing it was that the chimp won, because the media was so biased against him in the last few months. Click.

[candy331]

31. They will self destruct too in a little while, The 50 odd million who vote

for Kerry will get sick of the hoopla for Bush and will turn/leave their TVs off.

[blue sky at night]

32. not gonna do it......

fuck tv, i get all my news on the internet, listen only to AAR now that National Public Rightwing Radio is here. Couldn't stand to watch the debates, but did listen.

[EnfantTerrible]

33. Play Station 2 and DU

In large doses.

[Trahurn]

34. Only Select Channels Ahead

From now on I don't turn my TV to any outside news/information source as it means I might catch a glimpse of the chimp. Nope for me it's cartoons, Tom and Jerry, Flintstones, Jetsons, Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound and Yakee Doodle Duck. That's the administration I want to hear from for a while.

[catbert836]

35. The Simpsons

It's the only show I'll be watching until at least Febuary.
