Cancelling my cable was the best decision. An added bonus is no more commercials

Canceled cable, New York Times, WaPo, months ago in disgust. They are all spinelessly obeying in advance.

Good for you. I have gone off of C-TV also except for PBS.

even NPR & Democracy Now have become biased. We can expect PBS to get its funding cut. No corporate media ever again!

There is always getting an antenna....some stations still do that.......the only expense is the digital stuff needed......but once cable is gone.........you never miss it.

Haven't had cable in over a decade. Bought an OTA antenna (<$100 for a great one) & can get around 50 channels without missing anything I want to watch, which isn't much!

LOVE Meidas Touch & think they (et al.), Brian Cohen, Marc Elias, maybe Steve Schmidt & a couple of others keep me more than informed with fairly ACCURATE information vs the cesspool that the "click influences" have created (like Musk, Rogan & others!), ESPECIALLY about politics. Meidas was invaluable for this past election, such as it was. Congratulations to the crew for over-taking MSM in daily viewers. I think the hand-writing is on the wall for the corporate media opportunists & streaming will soon take over completely, especially as us boomers ride off into the sunset, & especially with Humpty Trumpty coming back to haunt us. He might can control his Fox State Media, but not the Internet! Onward & upward...

One of my first thoughts on Nov 6th, is what can I do with my time that would be beneficial to me and my mental health. The idea that I wanted a baton for my birthday popped into my head. My skill level never advanced beyond basic. I could do the twirls and some easy releases, but I was never really able to master the tough stuff like a release with a double turn and even single turns often resulted in a drop. But when I got my new baton, 40 years later, I could still do most of the basic stuff. I havenтАЩt tried any significant releases and certainly no turns, but it really felt good to twirl again and IтАЩm hoping it might help tighten up my triceps.

It has been wonderful. I turned off mainstream with the relentless bashing of Pres. Biden after the debate while they continued to sane washing Trump. Deleted X from my phone on Nov 6th. So disgusted with low information voters.

IтАЩm trying to figure out how to delete X. Only go to Substack now.

Just go down the list of apps in your settings on the phone. When you get to X just tap on it, and hit uninstall. GONE. It feels so ЁЯШК
