I agree, for me the main reason I watch the news, the local news is for the local weather, and to see if there has anything happened close to me or anyone I know.
Otherwise, it is all robberies, murders, car-jacking, home invasions etc etc.
Also it is useful to know of any road closures due to construction or accidents.

National news, I watch mainly to see if there have been any volcanic eruptions, earthquakes or large storms, assassinations or coup d'état's that will affect me, my country or family/friends around the world.
Otherwise, I have no use for the sports, the impeachment trials (what a waste of time; I mean really, congress almost never gets any work done in the first place, but the Dems had the whole show all tied up for what? 8 months?)

Howdy today sir Jerry! I agree and that's why I watch the local and national news too. Usually just watch the first 10 minutes or so of national news to see if anything major has happened and then the local for the reasons you mentioned.

We also are on a local email group that is for just our part of the county and people get on there and talk about things happening in the neighborhood like any theft going on or lost pets or flooded roads, etc.

Yeah the impeachment trial just demonstrates that congress is the very best at wasting time and money!

Politics is a bad word.

I agree, politics suck.
