[...] Sometime before Christmas I dug up a Steve Pavlina article on overcoming news addiction which prompted me to go without my daily dose of depression. My Business Studies teacher back in high school stressed that we should read the newspaper every day and stay on top of current affairs, but Pavlina lists 13 reasons to the contrary including my favorites: News is irrelevant.

Imagined if you focused on your big toe for an hour every night! And you felt like you needed to do it because otherwise, you won’t know what’s really going on with your body. Of course, you don’t need to pay active attention to your toe – if something is wrong with it, it will let you know on its own! The same is true of the news, or anything else. (For more reasons not to watch the news, check out these two articles by Erin and Steve Pavlina) [...]
