Nope ... my dad still gets the printed newspaper too.  My parents love their routines. ;)

I still have subscriptions to three newspapers. Just can't give 'em up.

Me too, I always get a kick out how CNN tries to convince us what a great job Obama is doing.

Hey, I do enjoy The Five sometimes, sometimes I'll watch MSNBC.  I like getting all points of view and trying to understand them.  I also find that each network has its idiots. I'll be honest t

I do as well.  I get two, The Boston Globe and The Daily Times Chronicle , a local paper.  For the Globe, I mostly read the front page, Sports section and the funnies.  For the local paper, I go through it and look for people I know and local events.  Also, the Obits :-(

My issue with on-line news is the way it is laid out.  I find it harder to get the information you need or want to read.  They interrupt every viewing with ads and they don't write anymore.  They assume you always want to see a video.

This!!  I want to skim the article in 5-7 seconds to see if its going to be interesting, not watch a 30 second video ad, then a two minute video.  Especially if I am at work and don't want to play a video with sound.

I pretty much avoid any "news" that only reports how bad the opposition is. Local only for me and just to glean what is useful to know relevant to travel and weather.

I'm like...why are you guys surprised? What did you expect? One of the guys is an ignorant clown on a comedy network, and the other one is Jon Stewart.

Even more interesting to me are the people that obviously don't watch any of it but use talking points verbatim from various blogs inaccurately describing it.

Is thinking for themselves too much to ask? :doh:

When I get a haircut, I ask my barber to change it from Fox News to the Golf Channel or Food Network.  Otherwise he will butcher my hair.  What I have left that it is! :-P

FWIW, I don't what MSNBC (at all) or CNN much unless there is something really important to follow up on.  There is far too much opinion and self promoting newscasters for my taste.  I wish we could have cloned Walter Cronkite.

There are people out there who hate The Daily Show?


If he actually was funny, I'd probably watch it.

Not even remotely "news".

Many of us would argue that its more "newsy" than the aforementioned opinion channels, but yeah, it's certainly not news.  But unlike Fox and MSNBC and CNN, etc., it doesn't claim to be either.

Regardless, I have no doubt that there are millions of people out there who don't find him funny, just can't imagine that there are many that "hate" the show.  Probably only people who are really big fans of Jim Cramer. ;)

I don't like Cramer (too loud and obnoxious) or Stewart (too snarky) but neither matters enough to hate them.  I liked Cronkite or just news without the bias.  I prefer to hear the facts and make my own mind up.

Just for the record, I was making a joke about the fact that Stewart shamed Cramer on his show a few times a couple of years ago.  It wasn't pretty.

I guess since I don't watch either it went right over my head, sorry.

      2024 Presidents Cup

      By GolfLug ·

      Yah, a little over the top barking behind SS's back and walking away before he putted out (that is straight up poor form IMO), etc. Seems to be trying to punch above his weight class. But then on the same note it's hard to stay awake for a couple of hours of telecast outside of this no? The golf is not bad but there's no soul and that's not the player's fault.  I read something about him 'blaming the Canadian crowd' for their Day 1 plight but that also seems to be a bit of a writer's distortion of what he said as to me it seems he is simply asking the crowds to get a bit more involved. That's fair. Ya' know, the positive, loud energy these type of events need and feed off of. My two cents.

      Until the International team does something… I don't know about "waste of time" and the surrounding area benefits economically, the players might enjoy it… etc. But it's not super interesting.

      By PatrickMurtha ·

      I’ll try to phrase this very carefully. Is there a case to be made that the Presidents Cup is a waste of everyone’s time?
