I was never a big news guy to begin with. Haven't had cable since 2009. For awhile I read the NYT and for a shorter while, Talking Points Memo. I've quit reading most world news and especially political news. His point that

>“Being concerned” makes us feel like we’re doing something when we’re not<

is what really drove it home for me. I can do more to improve the world if I am in a good mood and improving myself than I can if I walk around angry that X is happening somewhere.

CNN and Fox are so far apart they practically touch.
