i love the op, i hate watching the news, but mostly b'cuz of those fake ass newscasters acting like every word they say is so important and acting like they gaf, when you know they don't really give two shits about anything they're saying...
the only trend i do like is that newscasters / weather people are getting super fucking hot lately.. it's the only thing that makes the news even semi-watchable, but i still prefer to get my news from say a newspaper or online or w/e instead..
i hate to admit, but i always have the tv on as a back drop while i'm online.. i mostly watch old shows, mash is a fave, the waltons, yah, i said it, jeopardy every night at 700pm as well.. teen mom, 16 and prego, i'm pretty bad with my tv, lol..
i once lived with some friends and we had no tv and i didn't miss it at all, and pretty much read every day instead.. wish i'd get back to that instead of sucking my brains out through the remote control..
