After learning recent events, I am going to quit watching the news?

January 26th, 2009
♥ ♥ ♥ asked:

After I heard about the little boy, I am too sick to talk about, I have decided that I am not going to watch the news at all. Until the day comes that the government reinstates Tar and Feathering, Public Stoning, and assorted other capital punishments.

What do you think?
Well, !, you are obviously smarter than me, and DIDN’T watch the news…
StoryInThePhoto- I agree with you, Nancy Grace is horribly annoying.
24 Year Old Chick–good call, forgot about them.

Just to be a little more specific, I will not be watching the news because everytime I watch it, I hear about some sick person who hurt/abused/tortured/starved etc. a child. It makes me sick.

    I don’t know what “little boy” you’re talking about either.

    I agree with you, watching the news is extremely depressing. :(

    Unfortunately most of what the media considers “news” is sensationalized. You will surely hear about every sicko out there. It is packaged to get your attention so they can sell advertising time. The last realistic and unbiased newscaster I can think of was Howard K. Smith. He presented the news without coloring it. He presented several nightly news items about the war in Vietnam. It was only years later that I found out he was a strong anti-war advocate. I stopped watching network news years ago and have not missed anything significant.
