The News is bullshit for the most part even in the means that it's stuff that's not important or relevant.

For example, they have report stuff like "A man was driving 100mph and crashed his car in Missouri" that's too bad, but I don't live in Missouri, why the hell does that have any significance to my life? If anything it will just leave you depressed because humans aren't meant to have to think about the whole world's problems, just their own and their community.
