(2,703 posts)130. Yeah, not watching the news won't make it more digestive.
If watching it makes you sick and not watching it makes you less sick, then not watching is the sensible option.
I'm not watching as much of late, since my favorite source, MSNBC reports the same stuff all day long. I'll watch some of the morning segments, then Nicolle Wallace, then check back later with Lawrence O'Donnell to see if Trump has by chance, had a stroke or something.
But when Trump was in office, he made "breaking news" stories multiple times a day, so there were lots of updates to catch up with during the day. Soon as he takes the oath, I will likely get back in news junky mode.
