“neutral” doing a lot of work there

I listen to some NPR and read the NYTimes and BBC websites.

I can’t obsess about it.


Can you recommend some good BBC Websites?

I assume most men and women on DCUM would be into this alternative to their traditional news sites.


Epic

I don't think that means what you think it means.

I only read the news - but even that I might have to cut back.

Ditto. Fully plan on avoiding all news until 2028.

Yeah, I haven’t looked at the news since November 6. I get snippets of it from other sources but don’t otherwise seek it out unless I’m specifically looking for more information on something. I’m clearly still processing the election. I’m sure I’ll get back to reading the news soon.

I read a little news here and there but feel completely detached from it. I have too much going on in my own life to want to burden my brain with any sort of worry about things outside of my control.
