Another comedian, I'm too busy working and enjoying my life to be watching news all the time to keep up with everything that is going on the world.
Besides local news usually consists of similar stories from day to day, for example
1) There was murder somewhere in town.
2) There was a robbery somewhere in town.
3) More soldiers killed in Iraq.
4) Local sports stories.
5) National sports stories of Baseball, NFL, Golf
6) Usually a feel good story of local charity helping elderly or AIDS patients.
It's the same stuff everyday, they can put it on a loop from one day to the next and it usually the same. I wouldn't notice the difference !
So ya, feel good about yourself how superior you are because you know where the fire is, there's always a fire somewhere ! Meanwhile I'm going to continue enjoying my life outside having fun and working making money !
