i stoped watching the news years ago and im only 19..... 2001 i think, after 9/11, since then the only news i watch is the kind that pops up on the top of the forum, i.e. VS news, or a few of the other sites i belong to. even local news is sad and gets you down. when some thing good does happen your hear about it from friends or co-workers. the news is just a black hole that sucks everything in cept light.....
