Default News Junkies . . .

One of my best friends is a huge news junkie. She reads the paper daily front to back and is constantly watching news channels like CNN stations like that. I can be on the phone with her and she'll be watching the "news" and proceed to tell me all the bad things going on in this world.

While I think it's great that she can do this, I just can't see watching the news all day long. I think I would end up horribly depressed and anxious about the goings on in this world. And, I don't trust the reporters to report the news in an unbiased way.

Since so many of us MSers are home a good portion of the day, how many of you watch the news constantly?
