Since retiring a few months ago, I find myself doing something I've never done before....puttering around some mornings getting caught up on long overlooked items...
While puttering, I like to listen to news in the background, I have been listening via television rather than radio.
What passes for news is not the definition of news that I remember. Maybe it's a sign of aging, but the major channels might read off the headlines, then quickly switch to celebrity updates, social commentary/social justice commentary or break up into smaller segments to push the sale of consumer items.
I don't necessarily have a problem with any of the above, but when I want to learn what is currently happening in the US and abroad today, these are not newsworthy.
Do you have a recommendation for a television or radio channel that I can listen to for a discussion of current events (not opinions, only facts) in the mornings? So far, all I have found is Bloomberg Business News....not bad unto itself, but I would like to hear about other than business news as well. thanks
