Getting cable news out of my life was one of the primary reasons I cut the cord. I get my political news almost exclusively form digital print. It's to the point where actually seeing video of Trump is jarring because I'm just so used to reading and seeing stills. I pretty much forget how stupid the man sounds when he talks until I catch a clip on Last Week Tonight.

I find digital print to be worse then Cable news Politics. I don't know where the idea that news is suppose to be a robot and just the facts with no worldview comes from. I prefer to watch the middle of the road news but I also watch FoxNews and MSNBC to keep a perspective on different views.

Seems to me that most people are just interested in an ideology and you only consume that ideology and we now have 2016.

I, personally, found that my views were being influenced by the uniformity of opinions on my network of choice (MSNBC). For example, after watching the first debate I felt that Hillary was getting smashed after watching the post show, I had changed my opinion.
