I actually don't keep much on the news at all. I haven't watched it for a week or so. I hate it. It's more than likely related to my sensitivity.

Sensitive people are greatly affected by emotions they witness. They feel deeply for others' suffering. Many sensitive people avoid sad movies or watching the news because they cannot bear the weighty emotions that would drive to their core and stick with them afterwards.

Sensitive people are sensitive, who knew!

I understand that. You could always focus on the fluff segments. A tortoise learned how to skateboard! It would be pretty hard to get upset over that.

If the whole world stopped posting on this site would you do the same? I hope so.

I honestly despise all television 'news' shows. At best they're infotainment - but it's difficult for me to enjoy something so blatantly reactionary & sentimental. That they dedicate so much of their time to denigrating rival networks and personalities, and that their viewers are largely too idiotic to realize this is the same as Ford pissing on Honda, just ruins it for me.

Do you read anything that isn't a left-wing publication?

I see no reason in watching, reading, or listening to any sort of news that doesn't involve sports to be honest. I try to minimize my connection to the masses as much as possible because let's face it, the world as portrayed by mainstream media is pretty retarded.
