Since I study International Relations and Media Communication I feel I need to stay informed. Though I must say that being a news junkie does not make one well informed. News has become a business, its first goal is to make money and not to inform. I get my news from various newspaper, websites, and rarely from TV. No offence to anyone here but I think its ignorant to avoid news. I think society should be well educated and well informed. That does not mean watch CNN/Fox all the time, rather get news from various sources. The idea that there should be a happy news station is not what news is about. Also just because you cannot be 100 percent sure that your news source is giving you everything is not an argument against the news. It is an argument for reading more sources.
