No cable or broadcast TV since my divorce. Only time I see the news is sometimes when I pick up the kids.
I don't seek it out on the internet either. Most news stuff is political and garbage. I'll catch something someone posts on a forum, such as the guy cleaning out his mother's freezer. That's about it. The internet makes it out to be like the whole country is going crazy, but really it's just a handful of areas. I don't pay much attention to it unless I want to watch the idiots as entertainment which is rarely.
