Seven In Ten Americans Feel "News Fatigue," With 77% of Republicans Feeling News Burnout
I definitely feel this. The harpies shriek with the same intensity every single day, with an apparently infinite capacity to be outraged or claim imminent Final Victory based on whatever Jake Tapper and the gang fart out on CNN.
Pew Research:Almost seven-in-ten Americans (68%) feel worn out by the amount of news there is these days, compared with only three-in-ten who say they like the amount of news they get. The portion expressing feelings of information overload is in line with how Americans felt during the 2016 presidential election, when a majority expressed feelings of exhaustion from election coverage. While majorities of both Republicans and Democrats express news fatigue, Republicans are feeling it more. Roughly three-quarters (77%) of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents feel worn out over how much news there is, compared with about six-in-ten Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents (61%). This elevated fatigue among Republicans tracks with them having less enthusiasm than Democrats for the 2018 elections.Are you guys feeling this? And how do you deal with it? Keeping off Twitter is useful to me. Also, I almost never watch any news or Fox any more. It's just too much.

And I don't think it's necessarily "news fatigue" so much as it is "outrage fatigue."
We aren't getting significantly more news than we did back in the Bush admin, but the media sure does have the outrage meter dialed up to 11 constantly.

I subscribe to no dailies or periodicals.
If I consume any "news," it's via the web, and on a topic I genuinely find interesting.
I don't find that I'm any less well informed than I was 20 years ago when I consumed a lot of news.
Most news is bullshit from know-nothings sharted out for the purpose of selling advertising.

Most of the people I know are pretty smart, but the propaganda techniques of the MSM have conquered them, and they have no ability to think rationally about Trump or any of his policies. This is destroying my family, and I really would like revenge on the bastards who are doing this.

I have noticed this in my nieces and nephews too. They don't watch TV it is either a phone or computer for them too.
In the case of the youngsters it is far more phone time then computer.
But I think in general that TV time and big media dominance are both in decline, possibly very rapid decline.
Posted by: Big V at June 05, 2018 02:46 PM (ZvLtE)
It's all I can do to stand watching CBS Sunday Morning with Jane Pauley. It's usually 50-50 whether they'll have something on that is blatantly partisan. And between that, their general incompetence at the actual art of journalism, and their need to hype anything associated with CBS, every week is something crappy.
Posted by: deadrody at June 05, 2018 02:46 PM (jsGbO)
If there is an event I might turn it on, but otherwise I'm using the net.
TV news is an exercise in operant conditioning. You are literally being played. The information content is low and usually a week behind the internet at least. Its dead, it just has so many zombies watching, it still that it hasn't been realized.

Go to shows to help Her Majesty or work as a steward. Tend to our four acres. Sit in our garden and watch the hummingbirds and butterflies visit. Go to a church where no politics intrudes. Say my prayers morning and evening and my Rosary in the afternoon. Try to make a better, more useful, less annoying person of myself.

We fought against the Obama admin for 8 years. I'll support the GOP in November, even if they don't deserve it (voted in the primary today), but I don't need to be outraged every day. Winning the election gave us an escape from daily outrage, and I'm going to take it.
Meanwhile, the left is immolating by making EVERYTHING political. I just turn it off.

It's all such staged and contrived BS, but that's the nature of propaganda. As someone else said, it's total confirmation bias for the Left and Anti-Trump.
I have a fair yet not detailed notion of what is going on, and it does bother me. But the lies and distortions going on daily keep us from actually knowing.

Listen to the radio in the morning, either talk or sports talk. This morning was interesting on local sports talk, as they were talking about the Eagles. A caller called in and said he was on the left, but not anymore because of the tone deafness in the media with what's happening, especially with the anthem protests. He said if he went into work and spent the first 5 minutes protesting, he'd be out of a job. He called them out, and as soon as he hung up the host said "See, they think if you don't side with Chris (the caller), you're wrong".
They actually put another caller on the air who called them out on that. Pretty eye-opening, and a positive that the average person actually gets it and is just as frustrated as me.

I used to love Sunday Morning, but that was when Charles Osgood had the helm. I don't have anything against Pauley, but I think there's been a definite change in the content since she took over. Even my mom, who tries to avoid criticizing the show because "woman in charge" and stuff, doesn't like it as much any more.

It's not so much the news - it's the stupid, pablum called ''news analysis" that I can't stand. Journalists have always though that they need to do our thinking for us, but now it's become an epidemic.
Agreed. One Progda Comrade will say something it thinks is some profound something-or-other (when it's not) and another Progda Comrade on a sister station will take that and add even more Progressive bullshit to it.
And around and around it goes. Even FNC is starting to do it (*waves at Sheppipoo*).
I really wish they'd all get canned and replaced with people who will just give us the accurate info we need about the people we elect to orifice. They can keep their leftarded "opinions" to themselves, since they're all full of shit anyway.

Another way of looking at it: have I ever enjoyed a presidency as much as I am now? Not in the slightest. And when I do feel sad, it's only because a former "conservative" voice I respected and trusted has been revealed as a backstabbing asshole, and I'd much rather know the truth than be deceived.

There isn't that much actual news. The reason we have this idiot non-stop breaking-news-about-Donald-Trump's-ice-cream! is because cable news has to fill all those TV screens 24 hours a day.

For me, its not NEWS fatigue.... its MEDIA fatigue.
They scream about the same couple of issues all day long... bringing
in experts who don't know a damn thing... and pundits... and 'thought
leaders'...
While not covering the vast majority of actual news.
The vast majority of stories? are from DC or New York...
Hell... there is a HUGE story about Illegal Immigrant child
smuggling camps... on the property of certain multinational companies...
and the Media???? /crickets....

How about propaganda fatigue.
Used to be everyone accepted the propaganda, but now there is the internet which lets countering voices be heard. I think we are in a "golden age" of push back against the machine. Since the push back is strong, the usual elements in the media are trying to outlast, wear out and shout down the dissenting voices, all the while claiming to be the dissenting voices.
It's like pro Trump voices are rolling a boulder up a hill, while the never Trumpers are pushing it down from the other side.

But looking through the comments, I see I deal with it the same as most of you. I turn it off.
I took a week off from hard news. Only came to Ace for the ONT and The movie thread. It was a nice week. I was a lot less angry.
I am not on twitter, but I see people at work checking their feed all day.
I think a big part of the problem is the addiction to their phone / social media / etc.
I am going on a youth mission trip in July. Looking forward to not being attached to the world. I am pretty sure it will still be here when I get back and that it won't miss me much while I am off with the youth.

I escape into an alternate universe; watch a movie, read a book, run the lawn mower through the weed patch where, just two hours ago, I high centered the effing lawn tractor on an effing stump I couldn't see in the effing tall grass.
I had to jack up the lawn tractor and put boards under the wheels to get off the effin stump. Now that is excitement baby!
And I did it all by myself, and it didn't cost me a dime. It was very entertaining and quite rewarding to accomplish and persevere over adversity.
Later I might go try to dig up some of those stumps if they are ripe. You can't really dig up a stump until it is fully ripened. Not without heavy equipment that is expensive to subcontract.

I pretty much turn off anything but local or topical news. I unsubscribed from a lot and ignore a lot. I've given up on trying to convince anyone of anything because we're so totally about our tribes, not truth or cooperation.
I am reassured knowing that others feel this way. I sensed it before it was quantified here. It's a good thing at the end of it. That sentiment will likely ensure swing voters are apathetic to the left and continue to drive anti-establishment turnout.
Even though I was absolutely right to be - of course I am always right, just like everyone else, right? - I was pretty fired up the first couple years of Obama. While he stayed off the rails, I eventually became fatalistic and stopped caring. We're either going to deal with the trainwreck or we won't, but it's not going to be me that stops dealing first. Freaking out about it diminished me, not the opposition. The left is in similar throes, and while I do not believe they have the maturity to arrive at the realization that constant belligerence is no way to live, I certainly hope in the next year or so they tire of their own antics as some of us original Tea Partiers did (before that became some weird coopted amalgam of new establishment and old establishment hanger-ons seeking help with momentum).
If my belief - that this exhaustion will do nothing to help the establishment and may serve to maintain Trump's base - they'll have to come to heel eventually, as it will eventually show through that their cries elicit no empathy among the constituents they need to regain if they want to even share with the deplorables the mantle of power and influence they so crave.

Honestly, the HQ is where I get my news. Tucker, sometimes the Five, if I'm in the mood for screaming.
Local news is a joke. I check a few sites for local stuff but the alphabet soup networks are screaming to a blank screen as far as I'm concerned.
BY being all in on outrage, and being too dumb to realize when Trump trolls them, the stupidity level is amazing. I don't need anyone to tell me how to feel. If all you're going to do is lie to me then I don't need the noise.
Also, is it just me? Do all the left liberal wymyn on any TV show, including FOX, have screeching, blackboard through a table saw voices? Is that a criterion?

50 years ago, it was 30 minutes of local and 30 minutes of national news. Except for the sports and funnies, you could throw out most of your newspaper.
Now that we have 24-hour news channels the exact same amount of news is stretched and bloated and sliced, diced and minced. Even local news now goes on for 2 hours and more.

Many of the issues in the news cycle, I have already come to grips with in my mind. So the daily drip doesn't register with me as much.
For instance, I already have known Trump didn't collude with Russia 18 months ago, so the news that comes out about it is really just filling in the backstory of how devious and underhanded our FBI and such are.
Blogs like this give me a chance to read the particulars of the mechanisms used to derail American society by the bastards deriving their living from it, while not having to listen to talking heads play political tennis on the television.
There is nothing more mind-numbing then watching the paid actors on cable news telling me that a chicken is a goat on one side and that a chicken is cow on the other. How's about you just present the facts and I'll decipher them and absorb them in a fashion I find most logical?
That's why I'd rather get my news from AoS or Lucianne or Drudge or whatever then to watch the magic talk box.

She says she watches it for the comedy of it all. She's a bernie bro so I'm not exactly buying her explanation. Hates Trump, the Pope and most things conservative. Loves Melania and common core. Will save the common core conversation for another day. Jeebus she can be such a retard.

By only reading the headlines, you *know* how they will spin the story. You know what they'll omit, what they'll emphasize, the little hints they'll drop to guide you into thinking the right way. You develop a sixth sense for it to the extent that you could write the article yourself if you worked for WaPo. So it's unnecessary to actually torture yourself by reading it.

One thing I loved in DC was C-SPAN radio. That was the magic propaganda-revealing red pll for me: hearing a speech, hearing during commute, then getting home to see it reduced to a one or two sentence soundbite on the evening news (or The Daily Show) ---- and seeing how in doing this they completely perverted what had actually been said/taken place/
And yes, The Daily Show does the same dang thing as the nightly news, they're just more jokey and obvious about it. Shape the story by choosing which clips/soundbites they select.

I have a nice Sony flatscreen TV that came with my RV and which has full cable service as part of my deal at the campground where I live and work, but it has not been turned on since early on the morning of November 9, 2016 when I watched DJT become POTUS and the deadly threat of a Hillary presidency fall in ruin. This is literally true. I occasionally watch clips on Youtube, and when DJT makes a public appearance I usually watch the replay on Right Side Broadcasting on my Mac.
I recently posted an essay on the subject of Fake News on my blog that I have recently decided to bring back from the darkness to which it descended during the days of the Obama administration. You can find it linked in my nic.

Keeping off Twitter is useful to me. Also, I almost never watch any news or Fox any more. It's just too much.
I've never been on Twitter or Facebook, and now I'm so glad...bcz I think it has helped me retain my sanity. Also, do not watch any TV News if choice is up to me.
I have reduced my news consumption more than any other time in my life. Knowing so much of it is totally made up helps. It's a struggle though, since I've always been a news junkie.
I come here to find out a lot...using it to buffer...and because someone almost always makes me laugh.
Plus, I can vent, and that helps. Also, other people share things of critical importance.
I think old TV shows help. Ones without messages our culture is jamming down our throats. It was one of those things I think happened subconciously. It's retro shows. I find those are what I have on in the background a lot. Especially old sitcoms...there are a lot of stations like that now. It's weird, bcz I used to be an early adapter on new shows...now I don't watch any. I think it must be some self protection mechanism, bcz I find it strange to be doing this.
Getting outside into nature helps.
I struggle with totally checking out of all info, bcz it feels that is an abdication of my civil duty, and one of the reasons we are in this place in our country, is because of people who have checked out. I see it with my friends. So I feel I do need to keep an oar in, to take action (like recently on the TBS calls.)
So, it's a lot of things really. But laughter and other sane people help the most.

No, that is not true, you have to take into account how the Hard Left now controls ALL of the mainstream media, with the exception of some parts of Fox. How do people deal with overload and burnout like this? They turn it off, right there.
But what that means is that now 77% of Republicans and 61% of Democrats have stopped listening to the MSM. THIS is why all of their shit-throwing is having so little effect - the great majority of the country has now tuned them out. They can say anything they want, most of the country will never hear it.

The other day I was eating, and of course the restaurant had a television on the wall. It was showing the NBA playoff analysis...the day before the game.
This went on with three guys talking about the game. At the same time, there was a ticker running along the bottom. Talking about the game.
Over the talking heads there were blurbs constantly coming up, talking about the game.
All about 24 hours before it had even been played. In a league that plays an 82 game season and oh so many playoff games.
How much more is there to say about LeBron James at this point? Not to pick on him, but if you're going to have all that coverage, what should you talk about? You can't not talk about him (it's the NBA finals, and he's carrying one of the two teams in it). But what else is there really to say and fill up an hour-long analysis show with three analysts and multiple feeds.
Imagine eating a 24-hour meal while hooked up to an intravenous pump and a feeding tube. That's how one lives unless you shut some of this stuff out/turn it off.

Not having TV means I don't do that - and I STILL get news burnout from the internet, and I'm not even a news junkie in the way many others are.
The bulls** isn't that difficult to get sick of quickly.

I'm an internet news/conservative blog JUNKIE to a sad extent. Start and end every day with
https://politipage.blogspot.com/?m=1 which leads off with AoS and Sparta Report. Then pick and choose my way through the headlines following interesting links.
I find the constant corruption, dishonesty, hypocrisy, stupidity, and hubris of the uniparty, leftists, low-info types, etc fatiguing/depressing. CTH is usually a good antidote for that!

This is good news though because when the MSM looses THIS large a swath of normal people... they are fucked soon enough

Look at Drudge *shake my head* Look at Hotair *Laugh hysterically at Allahpundit's latest #NeverTrump derangement syndrome*
Look at Ace Of Spades *Load another couple of magazines, cuss at SMOD*
Turn on MBC Drama and surf the internet for Japanese Idols to forget about this fucked up world.

I basically just bounce between here, Drudge, and The Gateway Pundit on a daily basis.
I cut cable years ago - which is how long I've tuned out of Fox News.
I use YouTube to listen to sometimes listen to Mark Levin et al.
I usually listen to some of El Rushbo's show a couple-three times a week.
That's about it.
Mostly I just have to keep from reading too many opinion articles. (I read every article Coulter and Buchanan publish.)
I would not describe myself as burnt out on the news.
But I would describe myself as a bit wary in waiting for bastards like Brennan, Yates, Comey, Clapper, Clinton, and Obama to investigated to the hilt by a prosecutor.
The damned Deep State ought to be held to account for the horrific damage they have done to America.
I hold out hope at some point, somebody is going to step up to the plate and get an independent counsel appointed, and then we'll see justice.
But I know better than to hold my breath. And, yes, it's been a bit taxing.
But no burn out yet.

That, alone, will wear you out.
Then, there are the comments.
When the comments aren't filled with some form of toxic sociopathy, it's ignorance, naivete, and thoughtlessness.
Objectivity, rationality, and reason, have left the building.
