I gave up watching the news. They only talk about random horseshit that is of no value to anybody, or try and make people scared with their constant fear mongering claiming terrorist attack or a new disease every ten minutes none of which ever comes to fruition. As I am in BC, the Global news are the fuckas that happen to come on and they have a doctor come in there every day to tell you how you are fucking up your life and killing all your neighbours by doing simple shit like drinking two glasses of wine a day instead of one and oddly enough it always turns out to be bullshit even when they cite a half baked study the greasy cunts. And that's the genesis, the news is good for inciting hatred, fear and passing around random bullshit, if you feel a strong desire to hear current events that actually effect you it's not a good place to ring round.
