Pseudo intellectual hipsterism is so high in west, it is unbelievable. Bet you watch CNN, CNBC and CBS.

No not really, probably less than an hour per week for all video sources combined. I find video news moves too fast and has too little detail / nuance so I spend a lot more time with online text media like Axios and Ground.news than anything else.
