I got rid of our cable TV subscription 2 years ago. It was the second best thing I ever did (next to accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord & Savior).
...wonderful one two punch....
Kek!
My dad who had once been a TV repairman said: "TV makes you stupid".
My dad called it the idiot box.........might be the truest thing he ever said. :)
...your dad was a wise TV repairman....
I view GAW, Rumble and much more on my "TV". It's just a large screen monitor.
The "BOOB TUBE" because ot turns you into a boob... And I don't mean mammalian protruberances...

Five years TV free here. To go legally licence free in the UK, revoke their right of access and just unplug. We did and haven't heard a thing since, best decision ever. https://tv-licensing.blogspot.com/2011/06/withdrawing-implied-rights-of-access.html

Leave it to ashlanddong to share a story about a dog who wouldn't watch TV. <3 Given that this story is from 30 years ago, the TV in question was almost certainly a CRT. These cathode ray tube televisions generate a 15.7kHz buzz that some humans and most dogs can hear. So a TV would be regarded as a source of obnoxious noise.
The new 4K units make baller computer monitors. I'm keeping mine, but I don't watch TV on it.
TV switches off the brain.

Turned my cable off and stopped watching almost 5 years ago. Mostly because I got sick of watching all of the drug commercials, I got so sick of wondering why people would take a drug to fix one problem when it would cause 8 9 10 or 11 other side effect problems! How stupid can you be? (I realize now it's just brainwashing not stupidity). I have been so much happier since I quit watching TV it is unbelievable, it has changed my life for the better. I highly recommend it and have recommended it to many people. Just my two cents......
...please give Radio Sputnik a listen weeknights 8 to 12 EST...
(I link it hourly here on GAW)
...excellent commercial free news analysis...
