Interesting perspective on why you don't watch news anymore. I have always been a news junkie - apparently my third grade teacher would sigh that I asked her again during class why we were not talking about whatever news bit I had latched on to (my parents also got the newspaper back when it was both in print and actually more then 3 pages long, and that was my breakfast reading).

I am of the age that I remember birth of cnn (and thus the 24 hours news cycle) - after all, I was in HS during the first Gulf War; which is when CNN really got gong - I vividly remember Wolf Blitzer trying to broadcast from a hotel room, under a table, because the bombing had hit his area.

I have since became less news-watching, partially because I tend to consumer much of news from text; but I also get annoye how slow it is to watch a video!
