I go through phases of watching the news and then avoiding the news. I like the local 6pm newscast, especially their weather folks. Lately, I’ve been recording Stephen Colbert and watching the show in the morning, when I can skip the commercials. I know his political leaning and I like his humor. No surprises there.
There are times when the news just makes me feel turmoil and disgust and I’ll avoid it on tv and the internet.
My 33 year old son enjoys Twitter and he follows and retweets things of interest - science, technology, nature, astronomy, music, etc and also politics. If I need a quick overview of what’s “important” I check what he is retweeting and linking. Good enough for me.
