We don’t watch any TV news at all. We threw our TV out and never replaced it when it broke down back in 2016. Instead we subscribe to the online versions of New York Times, The Guardian (British) and BBC. We also subscribe to The Week which is a weekly roundup of world news magazine.
Oh man. Today’s earworm.
