Broadcast News

[Mr.Bee]

OMG, I finally broke down and watched commercial TV.
I haven't seen commercial TV news in about ten years.
I've been on PBS the last ten years, Newshour, BBcNews, DWnews...
Is this what you people are watching?
I felt like I was watching a satire of news,
and the commercials every five minutes!
I spent more time hitting mute I could barely keep track...

1. Boomer here

All news is so Reich Wing and afraid of the pedo it's pathetic.
Only watch podcasts and YouTube for news.

8. I do

I usually watch Thom Hartmann, Farron, BrianTCohen, and Rebel HQ and then in the evening check them against the UK and German news, that's how I know they are on the 'up and up'.
But last night was ridiculous bunch of clips thrown together with commercials!

5. Try the cable "news" bobbleheads on any channel

for as long as you can stand it. Just awful. Anything for ratings, clicks, views.

6. Back in ancient history when I started in broadcast TV each commercial length was mandated to be no longer than 2 min.

And the number of breaks per hour was regulated. Then the repubs changed all that. Deregulation, don't ya know. I think some of the breaks now must be 5 minutes. And, like you say, really frequent.
