It's now two years since I've watched TV news...

If there is a big story, I'll turn on MSNBC or CNN, but that's all.
If they dwell on a story just yakking about nothing, I turn it off.

I used to watch ABC news, and will watch "60 Minutes" if there is an interesting topic.

But I gave up all evening news 2 years ago now.

Anything I need to see is here on the Internet, especially here at DU.

I don't feel I've missed anything that makes me regret that decision.

I always like I can choose my timing and content ever since I was young.
