Exactly my sentiments.  I never watch the news myself, because all it is 
over here in the US is generally:

1.  Politics (which I follow elsewhere)
2.  A body count
3.  The Weather (which I can get anytime I want online)
4.  Sports (which I don't care about)
5.  Some feel-good story about a family saved by their pet or some other 
nonsense like that.

#2 generally takes up most of the newscasts I've seen - accidents, 
shootings, robberies, etc.  If I want to be scared, I'll watch a horror 
movie.
