Why do millennials get their news from the internet instead of tv?
Don't you? You honestly watch TV news?

Jenk is such a hunk
Because nobody, left or right, trusts mainstream news anymore.
>>67825266
because literally no one trusts the main stream media. even my 88 year old granda says the major media are obvious liars.
my family hates me so they will never say it to my face, but they think i was so fucking right about everything from 9/11, the iraq war, syria, and obama that they want to get their news where i get mine. and everyone knows somone like me.
no one watches the main stream media anymore, except local news. and that is really just for the weather.
>>67825266
Because I can be much more selective in my sources, and I dont get the standard bullshit propaganda yarn from the MSM.
>>67825502
This is pretty much it
There's so few that even watch it, new networks can't sustain themselves, regardless of their quality.
>>67825266
>35 minute program
>25 minutes of commercials
>Only a few headlines, few details
>bunch of stories you don't even care about
Gee, I don't know, maybe people prefer to get their news from a source that has more information and doesn't waste their time with some idiot reading a teleprompter.
Anyone can read a teleprompter.

The mainstream media is a disaster.

The internet is just as bad, if not worse, than mainstream media. Huffington post, salon, leddit, all these "online-only" news channels promote leftist degeneracy, without the necessary economics of mass media.
It's all garbage. Trust yourself, and only yourself, to make a true judgement.
I like places that actually have sources for the shit they say. TYT is OK, bias as fuck but at least they admit it.
I haven't watched tv in like a year unless I go home and visit parents.
TV is dying and mainstream media is corrupt anyway
>>67825266
I don't have a TV. I got 3 TVs last year as gifts, but sold them all as soon as I got them. It's waste of space grandpa.

This is not where people go for news, reddit is ok if you sift through the comments for a little while since people are invested enough in winning internet arguments that they will usually throw in some legit sources, but the others are not taken seriously by anyone
>>67825266
It's better than cable news where every commercial is about erectile dysfunction pills, female urinary incontinence pills, the asbestos class action lawsuit and opiate related constipation pills.
>>67825266
I don't know, but it's pretty fucking concerning.
These entitled fucking millenials are too goddamn lazy to schedule viewing time and their primary complaint is A BLOO BLOO BLOO TOO MANY ADS. Really?
Fuck off, advertisements are necessary. Quit being lazy and actually spend time watching things that are profitable.

>Why do millennials get their news from the internet instead of tv?
This isn't true. All of my friends get their news from The Daily Show in addition to the internet.
TV news is shit-tier.
>>67825266
Fuck TV. I cut the cable, my life is better for it.

wow finally /pol/ admits the truth. I am so proud of you. :o)
>>67826688
You need to get your news from somewhere to know what's going on in the world. Libs have stuff like Huffington Post and Salon while conservatives have sites like Drudge and Brietbart.
>inb4 Ben Shapiro drama
All are biased websites though that cater to their audiences. I'm not sure there's any popular media left that simply reports the news anymore. Al-Jazeera was actually a decent channel but nobody wanted to get their information from something so Arab sounding.
The most striking thing about this cycle, to me, is that of all the MSM outlets, MSNBC has been the most fair and balanced. The C in CNN stands for Clinton and we all know FOX can't stand Trump.
>>67826688
And I bet Drudge Report, Breitbart, and Free Republic are so much better
:^)
>>67827984
This, i stopped paying cable back in 13 and i have more time in my hands to shitpost.
>Talk to someone about politics on /pol/ or even in real life
>They just repeat crap they heard on TV news and act like they're experts
TYT is utter libtard trash
That's all
>>67828461
At least drudge doesn't write the articles
Because they think they're "woke" because da medeeuh is like biased n sheeit but then they get their news from huff post. But not even from the articles, they just see the headlines from one of their friends posts on kikebook.
And desu I've found bbc news is less biased than any American news website.

Needs more commercials.
I didn't watch cable TV (any major or minor TV stations) on my own for almost 8 years - I don't see the point when I can select my own content what to watch with my PC hooked up to my TV.
Everytime I visit friends or family and they have the TV running I realise how disturbing and upsetting commercials are - I ask them to mute the TV while the commercials are own most of the time. Can't stand the constantly 'being shouted at' anymore.

Lying fuck, nobody watches the daily show.
I don't even really like the news. It's so controlled by so very, very few. People glued to the media are robotic.
>>67828216
of course my family hates me. if your family doesn't hate you, perhaps you are on the wrong website.
i still have scars from my father beating me. physical scars.
if you led a normal life and your family loves you and everything is good then maybe you should consider going back to fucking reddit.
>>67832754
What if your family loves you but knows your a loser and you have no friends? Can I stay here?
>>67825266
On the internet there is literally dozens of independent news sources pertaining to various topics where as all mainstream media outlets are extremely limited in their variety. Plus paying for cable is retarded.

I wanna lick her sweaty feet
>>67825266
not a millennial... if you're watching TV after the year 2000 you're doing it wrong.
>>67825266
CNN, MSNBC, Fox (and to a slightly lesser extent BBC)? Why the fuck would anyone ever use these as a diehard news source?
