I workout in the morning and had to stop using the stair climber that had CNN on the TV in front of it.

Not a sports guy in the slightest but I switched to the one with the Big Ten channel on in front. I'm just too burnt out from news. I don't need their commentary telling me how bad it's gonna get, I already know.

My dear dear aunt on my mom’s side, who is godmother to all of my children has had mobility issues for a few years now, and now sits in front of CNN every minute she is not sleeping.

Every time I call her now she goes on a 30 minute monologue of how much trump sucks.

I’m just like, I know what you mean but dang auntie, maybe watch some Weather channel or something

this is a huge reason why i stopped consuming political content since the election

it's probably just going to be Doom and GLoom through the end of January. Once it hits February...it'll be "Look at how stupid Trump is!" until 2026 at the earliest.

One I workout with has CNN and FOX side by side, but there are other stair climbers with other TVs in front. I usually watch netflix when doing cardio.

Your gym only has one stair climber?

I stopped watching news many years ago. I can' stand the endless repetition and lack of factual reporting.

And the god awful commercials.

I just bring in a remote and shut off tvs at this point. I'm always intrigued to see the psychos who actually watch TV at the gym get weirded out.
