"You don't need round-the-clock news, it needs you. Why allow yourself to be dangled in a permanent state of anxious suspense about matter that don't even directly affect you, like some remote murder inquiry, or even war? Constant media-induced is addictive and prevents us from stepping back and seeing the big picture. You have nothing to lose but your remote."
Fortunately the one news program that I actually watch isn't on on Friday nights. Just to be safe though, I didn't watch any TV at all tonight to make sure that I wasn't exposed to any news.
