Americans are exhausted by political news. TV ratings and a new AP-NORC poll show they’re tuning out

That was my knee-jerk reaction as well, but sometimes news about them are actually newsworthy. I just was to filter out proof that news media never learned anything in 2016, and block all the stupid shit they say. When they do anything worth reporting on, that's when I might be interested.

I added RFK to my list as I work in pharma so I can't stand his nonsense, and I had to go back and add Elon as well, because they call him either equally as much and I was wondering why I was still seeing that dumbass in my feed.

Originally I was worried about missing out on important info. Listening to some people talk about it in one of my podcasts, they mentioned they were tired of seeing people say Trump will do this or that, they only care about hearing about what people are going to do about the dumb stuff he says and does.

That struck me, as firstly, he normally doesn't do the majority of stuff he says, and secondly, if he does actually do anything of significance, I'll see it on AP or NPR. If I don't see it that way, that means nobody is fighting to stop it anyway.

I know everything these clowns do is going to be bad or stupid, I don't need to constantly be told that because I already know. I want to hear the names of who is going to do something about it, or I don't want to hear about them at all in my Lemmy feed, which is supposed to be fun or educational for me.

Other news that is less engaging can deliver the bad news when it needs to, but if I control my feed here, I'm going to make it less frustrating. Reading about these jerks the last few years has done any good.
