Kopy 489 Posted September 15, 2021 I've been this way for a couple months now. I stil hit the local news for the weather, but after that I tune out. Covid, vaccine, mask. Rinse repeat. I'm over it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

avoiding injuries 1,220 Posted September 15, 2021 I haven’t watched TV news in almost 2 years. I follow some news sources on Twitter, but that’s about it. It’s scary, but I learn more about most current events here than other places. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Utilit99 4,099 Posted September 15, 2021 Liberals.... Chula Vista parents raised the alarm over "jaw-dropping" tweets Parents in Chula Vista, Calif., are demanding answers from Kate Bishop, a member of the school board whose years-old vile messages on Twitter recently went viral after a concerned father shared them on social media. "I'm pretty sure I hit my sexual peak today. Somebody bring me an 18 year old boy, STAT!" Bishop tweeted in 2012, with the hashtag "hormones." Parents criticized a second tweet sent in 2011, which read, "Off to the park to see what hot 3-year-old girls my kid can hit on," with the hashtag "#ValentinesDay." https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-parents-demand-answers-on-school-board-members-profane-tweets-really-disturbing-to-me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bostonlager 2,462 Posted September 16, 2021 I turn to news when I am bored. Right now my time is spent on football wagering and golf. I don't really have time for news right now, but I have been loosely following that Gabby Petitto that is likely dead in a ditch somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
