Now here in the good old USA, AT&T cable removed the 34 rated news show called Newsmax and replaced it with some crap called First Choice. I have never heard of first choice but tried it and didn't think much of it. AT&T carries 21 news channels and 19 of them are liberal. They got rid of OAN last year and Newsmax this year. Fox is really all that is left besides this fourth rate First Choice they replaced Newsmax with. This is the problem with corporations. Not that they make too much money but rather they can have too much power. This is a great example.
I apologize if any of you feel I'm attacking you. I'm not. I sit and watch hours and hours of news every single day so I do pretty much know the whole story. Most people don't have the time or interest to commit so much time to news and that is not their fault. I'm told I'd be much happier if I stopped watching so much news.

I only recently learned about OAN and Newsmax.
If you were only watching those guys then you were only getting exposed to the extreme right point of view. And they are way out there.
I hope you are watching NBC, ABC, CBS, and PBS news also. They are and always were the balanced news outlets.
I've no idea what news channels in the USA might be truly considered left leaning, rabidly socialist/communist outlets. But the four old networks of yore most definitely are not. No matter what OAN or Newsmax scream.

I think you would be happier watching less news. Shocking stories, and controversial stories draw in viewers, but just make you depressed and/or angry to no good result. I myself have gotten to the point where I hit the mute button or change the channel during stories of the latest drive by shooting, or political scream-fest. I don't need those disturbances to my health or even just my digestive tract. :roll:
I'm a man........but I can change........if I have to........I guess
