I watch the local news on TV and read the national news on the Internet.  I avoid the 24 hour news channels.  The majority of it is opinion, not news. And could care less what the commentators say...like their opinion is worthy of our consideration.

It does make you wonder doesn't it. People are not solving their problems by talking. NO patience to listen to each other and the indifference to their feelings. Too bad we can not get off this runaway train.

No wonder my parents didn't ever watch it with us in the room growing up. I've heard of several people not watching the news until around 10 when the kids were asleep, and probably only for the weather. I watch  it sometimes during the day like a cnn, but never keep it on for hours.

I tend to get more of my news from listening to the radio while I drive into work, and if there is some major story, I'll go on-line to read more about it from there. I don't have an issue with the violence as much as I do with the bias that all of the different stations have. There really isn't any objective journalism anymore, whether it be in terms of the actual writing / presenting of a story or even in the "metadata" like editors choosing which stories to present, how long of a time given to each story, the types of commentators they bring on to discuss a story, etc. And the bias isn't always based on political affiliation either; often the news is "Americanized" in that they'll only present stories that appeals to most Americans rather than the importance of the story to the world in general. I find it better to get an idea of the major stories going on and then searching for the facts on-line (as best as possible) in order to make my own conclusions.
