I am not from the US but I can relate. I don't watch the news, I don't want to waste time on it and avoid it as much as possible.
Journalists an news organizations were supposed to be the ones keeping governments in check by digging up the skeletons of those who call themselves leaders today.
Instead a lot of the news is now clickbait and attention seeking and many news organizations are actually financed by governments (BBC, Al Jazeera, France 24 and so on...) thereby removing any hope of having an unbiased news source because you simply don't bit the hand that feeds you.
If I want to know facts, I'll buy a book about some specific topic/event 10 years after it happens, so that the whole picture can be understood instead of reading editorials and opinions about ongoing events that most likely will be invalidated by the end of the week.
So it is what it is. Not my circus, not my monkeys.
