She watches the local news religiously - 7 am, 12 pm, 5pm, 7 pm and 11 pm. I get so mentally depressed AND stressed when i watch the news, and it's not just because of the economy. They report all bad stuff such as shootings, rape, murder, violence and death. A steady diet of death never did anyone good!!!

The major news sources (NBC< CBS, ABC< CNN etc and the wires that feed them their news API, UPI and others, are not reliable sources of information, because they are slanted.
