I saw a few minutes of CNN the other day and the pompous way how these kind of "news" stations present things that don't matter at all was literally tiring and irritating me. I guess it's the american way of bringing news, it's exhausting, they ram petty shit through the tv screen to make it way more important than it is, to push viewers into a direction. I can't imagine watching crap like that voluntarily, so I quickly changed the channel - before my IQ would drop.

Apart from the blatant propaganda, it's also a proven fact that when you watch too much news it enhances a negative state of mind.
