I used to think my dad wasnt happy unless he was mad. He watched mostly the news. Now I find out I am just like he was.

the way I figure it the second amendment forum tells me the only news I care about and if they tell me I can't have my guns I really wouldn't care anyway because they would get my guns off my dead body, just like when this country was founded.
Feralmerril,
As another oldster, I advise doing what the other posters here so far do. It works for me. I usually react the same when I hear what's going on, but without TV, it's much less often.
Party on.

I heard somewhere that TV was in color now. Is that true? They can broadcast in color?

The news is like history-it's was is or was, not what we'd like to it to be. If you listen to the news and hear that there's been a major accident and a road is shut down, you can plan accordingly. Likewise if you hear the weather will be bad. If you hear that a state has passed anti-RKBA legislation or other legislation you don't like you can plan not to spend money there. In my case I follow business news closely for professional reasons.
TV-oh yes, I usedto have it.

The FOX affiliate out of San Antonio provides a valuable service around here. When the other outlets show national news at 6p.m., they show the Simpsons. Homer's smarter than Katie Couric anyway.
I turned on some morning network news show, "Today," I think it was, the other day in my motel room (no NPR available). The national news was supplemented by snippets of local "news". What a bunch of idiotic drivel --- it must require a lobotomy to tolerate a steady diet of this crap. If millions of viewers think they are being provided meaningful information on current events by these programs, it's no wonder they elect Democrats and otherwise behave irrationally...

There are maybe 5 or 6 tangibly important news stories each day (aside form local events, which you can get from the next morning's paper)...and it took Cronkite all of 19 minutes to describe them in detail.
That hasn't changed. Except for the idea that we somehow 'need' 24 hour news channels.
CNN - or as I call it, Childrens' News Network - has all but given up on journalism. I am convinced that this downward spiral, if not started by, was at least hastened by the gi-normous ratings reaped during the OJ saga...the first one. Half the talking heads on TV today owe their careers to him.

I watch the 10:00 local news for the one or two news events they USUALLY provide and change the channel after the weather, although weatherman is often wrong or exaggerates the risk of 'BAD WEATHER COMIN'!!!', ooooooooooh!
