Re: Re: I think I'll quit watching the news.
It's really true. I have spent time sitting in airport waiting areas, where they usually have CNN or something playing, and I wonder how people can keep from jumping off bridges, or throwing something through the screen.
I will still watch TV news when something is happening in real time (like a Shuttle launch or a disaster or something) but even then it's often as annoying as hell. NASA TV is far preferable for NASA stuff since newspeople can't keep their mouths shut without exploding or something and babble endlessly over the actual news in the background.
I watched TV news during Katrina. The coverage was a nightmare. If I hadn't been sour on Fox News already, Geraldo would have nailed it for me.
