The news

[flexagon]

Goodness, all you LJ-friends seem so good about reading the real news and so forth. I thought of you today, and therefore went to CNN today for the first time in... I have no idea how many weeks. I very rarely read the news. Sure, it's addictive because every day it's something different, but: it's often uninteresting, when it is interesting there is always a huge slant toward the depressing (because that's what sells), and if something is going to affect my life I'll be told about it anyway.

I don't neccessarily do it all that often, but I didn't have any real tasks at work yesterday, so between technical reading sessions, I was surfing. I agree on the general sentiment of depressing.

It would be a rare thing for me to read the news - in any format.
