Do you watch the news?

I can't watch the news. It depresses the hell outta me. Seems like everyday I hear about some mother who inhumanly killed their child, political scandal, shootings, missing children, and celebrities. News network compete for ratings it seems using shock value. It depicts Americans as not valuing life itself.

When it comes to news, ignorance is bliss to me.

So do you watch the news? And keep political talk out of it.

I'm right there with you. The only news I watch is the 5 min I catch in the morning when my wife has it on. Nothing but depressing stories and angry people.

My news is ESPN Radio and Operation Sports

No, sir.

Nope don't watch the news. I used to try and catch the weather but I get that from the internet now. Can't take the constant negativity. There are good things going on in the world but all they report on is the bad.

If you count SportsCenter as news...



I used to watch the local news every night. Now I just read the news on Yahoo. This way I can read what I want and ignore the rest.
