And people wonder why I don't watch TV. The only "live" media source I consume is news/talk radio...90% of that news and not talk.
I'm amused because none of the topics you mentioned (all which I'm also sick of hearing about, BTW) rated more than a single small paragraph in the Economist, which I download each week to my iPad for easy reading.
I love my iPad. I love the Economist. Not only do they seem to write about news stories I find relevant, but they're incredibly bitchy in that dry manner that only the British can manage. Fabulous.
I skim through Time because Randy subscribes, but it's succumbed to the "dumming down" [sic] of news stories and topics. I do find it occasionally useful.
EDIT: Actually, I will occasional watch clips from Rachel Maddow (you GO, girl!), Bill Maher, or Jon Stewart. Randy watches them all religiously, and either I'll stop and watch briefly as I pass through his man-cave/tv room, or I'll see something interesting someone embeds here or on Bruizr.
