Let me put my cards out clearly.
All cable news sucks. Even the ones which occasionally get it right.
Humans were not meant to be inundated with news 24/7. It's unnatural, and actively harmful.
It's why I haven't watched any of it, save for Jan 6, since 2009, when the knives immediately came out for Pres. Obama.
One's mental health would be greatly enhanced by excising that habit in toto.
@LiberalLibrarian Good on ya', mate!
I've not had TV of any kind since 1989 (except for a 6-month Dish Network trial in 2001), and I like being TV free.
I like it a lot.

@LiberalLibrarian I absolutely agree with this. Plus there's no way to have breaking news 24/7, which means...lots of repeats, lots of hype, lots of drama to catch the eyeballs.
I just never got into it because we didn't have cable. Now that we stream everything, I don't really watch TV, and the spouse doesn't care to watch news constantly either.
