Cable News Addict

[Stevendsmith]

God help me, I'm spending far too many evenings clicking my way through the absurd and infuriating political drama that is playing out on cable "news" every night. I know it's propagandized crap but I'm hooked nonetheless. My fiancé is tired of watching me yell at the TV every night. She's challenged me to take a week off. Maybe I'll give that a try.

1. I have not watched cable news in close to 4 months

It feels so good. If I can do it why cant you?

2. Thanks for the Inspiration

Do you have a television? Do you have cable? If so, do just skip by the cable channels? That's got to be difficult for someone that's politically engaged. What about when major events happen?

3. I have cable tv the only things I watch are...

The daily show (comedy political satire)
Conan (comedy)
Southpark (comedy)
Trigger happy tv (comedy)
Cspan sometimes and Cspan2 book tv

When there is a big event story I turn to.
