My parents seem to watch the evening news or read the newspapers because I hear them speak frustration about what is going on.

I read sites online with news "commentary."
That works for me because someone has already digested the information and explained it
without also trying get me excited or get me riled up.

I read things about three times a week or watch fifteen mins of PBS news hour on Fridays and that
is all I need to be halfway paying attention ---- ("halfway paying attention" is the same
as "halfway not interested" because, although I do care, at the moment I am in survival mode).
