I have slowly stopped watching the news a year ago. Anything that's really important I'll hear through other people anyway. Frankly, I don't think I miss much. Most of it seems to be a passing hype anyway. I'd rather devote my time, effort and memory to people and causes I care about, like here, than on passively absorbing information that loses its value as soon as it isn't new anymore.
