the world has always been going to shit, the news has to put a spin on it to make it seem like shit is steadily getting worse, when in fact, nothing has changed.

Hmm.. I find it best to stay informed on current affairs.
Its important to know what is happening with your country. Especially in times like these. If only everyone paid attention we may have decent voters left in America. If people educated their self's more readily we may never have had a George Bush in office. If only more people actually knew how much power has been taken from them in recent years.
It makes me sad that because Americans are lazy and just don't care what is happening all around them that we are easily controlled by bull shit propaganda.
All a politician has to say these days is I'm a Christian, and Gay people are trying to ruin the institution that is marriage Boom they are in office
Nothing against you 8374837, I just like to rant

Local news doesn't really report on anything important these days. I swear, at least once a month every local news station has a story about how to protect yourself from "online predators". I'd much rather get my news from online sources who are usually just as biased as the TV news, but will report on more things and more important things.

Very True Screwy. You can't rely on our news sources to be unbiased. Especially Fox
Sad when you have to read news from other country's to find out whats happening in your own

I usually find BBC News pretty good.
@poster, IMHO it's really ignorant hick behaviour to shield yourself from the outside world. I also think you might feel pretty stupid in social situations if somebody brings up a story about a cetain country being invaded and you know diddly squat about it. Oh well, to each his own. I'm also not that worried about the end of the world. The biggest threat I see is corporate governed America starting ever more wars for the military-industrial complex

i do my best to avoide the news... at times like these though
i just got up, made some coffe and toast and sat infront of the TV to see if we've started an all out war yet... my mom says "it's just some sort of tactic operation, it's not a war" and i'm thinking "YET... that's exectly how wars START" 
of course they were'nt really saying anything on the news... it's not like we ACTUALY know what our army is doing except that stuff is getting blowen up and the whole of the northern parts are in the bomb shelters! and that's all they talk about... i didn't hear reasons/goals/targets not to mention implications for the future. i wish i was a beliver, maybe i'd have some faith in my country or the world in general... i'm not, i don't!
but i'm lucky enough to go about my day as if all that is just the news and nothing more? so should i be concerned or not? should i keep watching even though it's all BS? does it make any diffrance? it's all propegenda anyway... i'll never be able to figure out what's going on for real so why bother, i'm gonna keep voting for the cannabis party and live my life as best as i can... i'll do my best to avoide the news
