Is anyone else sick and tired of the Sunday shows?

[Windy]

They are nothing more than unwatchable right wing propaganda.

[Captain Hilts]

1. I gave them up years ago. If anything important happens, it gets reported. nt

[City Lights]

5. Same here. nt

[Captain Hilts]

10. Just as I gave up NFL pre-game shows when I couldn't take Phyllis George's love for the Cowboys

any more.

My quality of life dramatically improved.

[timeforpeace]

23. Even during Bush's reign when it was Dems every Sunday I still got sick of it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I became sick of them years ago, so I don't watch them.

[MADem]

3. I think talking heads have been overrated for some time.

I enjoy Meet the Press, because now we get to meet the actual press for a change, instead of just Timmeh and reps from the Bush White House.

[Captain Hilts]

13. I'm told you can get ALL of Spivak's Meet the Press on DVD. Is this true? nt

[MADem]

16. I would PAY for those!!!! I didn't know that--I'll keep an eye peeled! nt

[Warren Stupidity]

4. There are Sunday shows? Who knew?

I stopped watching the corporate propaganda news shows more than 30 years ago. I haven't missed anything as far as I can tell from the reports here from those who still torture themselves. I am certainly less disinformed.

6. Hate them ~ all the same

Two of their hand picked people that show "both sides" of the issue.

They want to be Fair and Balanced and what they get is Air Time to these Clowns as they discuss for hours why Clowns should be allowed to disrupt a public Forum and not give people an opportunity to be heard.

[snappyturtle]

7. Yep. I shut down on Sunday mornings three weeks ago. It's been

a liberating experience!

[Uzybone]

8. This week had 2 GOP, 2 very right leaning centrists and 1 centrist

at the round table. So much for balance.

[Saturday]

14. Sam Donaldson is none of those and he did a good job this AM IMO. nt

[Uzybone]

17. Sorry Donaldson is a centrist

he did well today but when you take a centrist vs 5 right wingers the centrist tends to look very liberal.

And i do not use centrists as a derogatory term like many DUers do.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. I still watch but I bail out mid-show more often these days.

[madokie]

11. I haven't watched any in so long as to not recognize any of the names

except for meet the press.
Add: and no I do not watch mtp

[Warpy]

12. I stopped watching in the 80s when they developed the formula

of having two foaming at the mouth, Reagan massaging right wingnuts "balanced" by a tepid liberal who refused to stand up for much of anything.

If they're not going to challenge obvious lies, why bother?

[Lasher]

15. Yep, I lost interest a few weeks ago.

Except when a Bill Maher Real Time repeat is on that day. It wasn't that long ago that I was a real Sunday talk show junkie.

[ginnyinWI]

18. I just gave them up, too.

If any real news is made, I'll see it here at DU. Otherwise I'm not going to bother. It makes for a more peaceful Sunday morning. I'm even watching CBS Sunday Morning--nice human interest magazine. Today they had a thing on Woodstock, a thing on root beer, a thing on Julia Child and the new movie out about her--just easy going but still interesting stuff. A nice change.

[cynatnite]

19. I watched MTP on occasion when Russert was running it...

That was it.

Now, I watch none of them. They are worthless.

[AlinPA]

20. They are all garbage. nt

[nightrain]

21. I stopped watching most teevee a couple of years ago.

[Golden Raisin]

22. Yes.

And I also skip most of what is passed off these days on TV as "news". The Web is keeping me informed and sane.

[roody]

24. What Sunday shows???

[Kahuna]

25. After 40+ years of watching them, I've given them up. nt
