"News Avoidance" on the rise

I know this sounds corny, but as WAPO says, "Democracy dies in darkness", so I think it's my civic duty to keep up with what's going on. Thats mostly the print media. For breaking news, I'll watch CNN, PBS and either CBS or NBC in the evening. I almost never watch cable news. Those who watch Fox, MSNBC and other such outlets are predominantly seeking confirmation, not education. I honestly believe that if everyone tried to become informed, we'd all be moderates and able to converse and reach compromise. There certainly wouldn't be the MAGA folks and Trump supporters.

 

I watch local news and ABC world news tonight with David M. At least they end their broadcast with a positive or feel good story.


Cable news can KMA

 

From a preterist point of view, it's all just a tempest in a teapot, right?
