I have no idea what this supposed Minnesota law is, but I'm certainly not going to watch a video from Fox News to learn about it.


After 2016, I feel like I need to keep an eye on what is going on over there.


I find my life is overall more pleasant the less cable news I watch.


Agreed. Though it’s not localized to cable. Most non-local news is designed to incite fear/anger in you and push you to their thinking, not inform you of what’s going on in the world. In fact most news orgs don’t even work for their own news, they buy it wholesale from news aggregators like Reuters, AP, etc and put their own spin on it.

In my case, I found no benefit to any national/international news orgs and focus solely on local news on the county/state levels.
