I have slowly stopped watching the news a year ago. Anything that's really important I'll hear through other people anyway. Frankly, I don't think I miss much. Most of it seems to be a passing hype anyway. I'd rather devote my time, effort and memory to people and causes I care about, like here, than on passively absorbing information that loses its value as soon as it isn't new anymore.

I don't watch the news. In fact, I can't tell you the last time I did. My parents watch "Jon Stewart" and for the past few nights I've caught his show. -I could watch that nightly. Pretty funny stuff and you get the premise of the most pressing news. But yeah, I agree that if it's important enough news it will find me via other outlets.
