Traditional news ironically. It seems to be the “adult” thing to watch the news but it’s just gloomy and controlling. Just wanna claw my eyes out every time I hear them exclaim “X is outrageous!” “The West has fallen.” “We live in a third world country!” “Migrants are destroying America!”. Pisses me off so much. It’s entirely irrelevant whether or not I agree, but it’s how they try to force you to think or feel a certain way, treating us like children. Just tell me the facts like an adult so I can decide for myself.
