There is a point that I don't see mentioned in any other comments, maybe because it applies only in my country (Italy). The main benefit of not watching TV here is that you avoid the relentless, hidden or explicit, endorsement of our right-wing party and the consequent manipulation of reality.

Happens here in USA all the time.

For right-wing distortion of reality: Fox News

For Left-wing distortion of reality: MSNBC

CNN is a twitter feed. CNN is about news the same way MTV is about music (which is very little, if at all)

Its not news, its a fucking drama.

Thankfully I disconnected my cable TV service since last election.
