I get the cable part, but no local TV? Why no local TV? Local TV is free.

I spent 25 years in the TV industry on the biz side and even though I'm sort of out of it now, I still keep tabs on both local and national newscasts.

And, yes, the people that run the "news" on a daily basis (producers/writers/on air talent) are indeed almost entirely left wing liberals. Them be the facts. However, the "suits" in management at all these places are mostly conservatives but try to stay apolitical. You'll find them on the metro north at 7pm trying to gtfo out of Manhattan as quick as possible up to Westport, CT.

But I do personally like WNBC channel 4. Not sure why. Since I was a kid back in the Sue Simmons days, channel 4 always grabbed my attention. They still do a pretty objective local newscasts these days, trying to just report facts (who/what/where/when/why) as opposed to political opinions like most others do. Local is where it's at. The national newscasts are utter left wing propaganda. Always have been.

I do know of others who don't watch broadcast TV at all (including local channels) for various reasons.

I too like the local WNBC 4 channel news (in particular their weather reports) broadcasts.

As for left wing news propaganda, I thought Fox News was supposedly right wing (meaning not all news is broadcast by one political side).

I watch NBC News too, I just like their format.

Remember when Sue Simmons dropped the F-bomb on live TV?

I haven't watched the news in many many years. I get my news from city data. Or Google top stories that pop up on my phone.

Really? That sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. Do you read any local newspapers? Or follow any local news apps on your phone?

I gotta say. It feels great not to listen to news. None of the issues really matter. It’s all toxic noise in the end.
Do jewish people control any of those news sources?

I heard they owned a few.

The one online board they do not is Gab. Gabbers speak bluntly about what the jewish media outlets do not want discussed anywhere.

I stick with local news networks only. I avoid Fox, CNN, MSNBC like the plague. That is not real news.
