There is no news anymore.  There is only sensational stories that don't mirror reality and advertising (a.k.a., brain washing).

well said. Besides what can possibly happen what has not happened already before?

Bapu can learn to sing?

Why would young people watch the news? When I was 20, I already knew everything.
At 30, I had become aware that maybe there were a few facts here and there that I didn't know. By 40, I was finding out new stuff every day. At age 50, the depths of my ignorance had become painfully obvious. Now, at 61, I am well aware that I don't know sh*t about anything.

gush, scary to think what we'll be aware at 70. I can only imagine at 100 we'll start all over... 

Got rid of my TV 10 years ago, never looked back since. Sometimes in the gym I will attempt to view a little bit of TV but I can only manage about 5 minutes before all of the junk trailers and ads start to melt my mind. It really freaks me out how many families plan their evenings around these infernal boxes. 

Do only the "elderly" watch the news?

 
Let's ask Bapu.
