I stopped reading newspapers years ago - this always seems to surprise people. And I hate being talked at first thing in the morning, so I put teletext on the tv, and choose which bits of news I want to read - if any. I do the same thing at night when I get in. I only watch a bulletin if something really dire has happened - like the tsunami - which I feel I ought to look at.
It's absolutely right that as you get older there's a distinct feeling of same old, same old about the news ....... along with the feeling that there's s** all you can do to influence things, or help.
