Makes me think of the MMM post about the Low Information Diet.What are you really missing by not watching the news?
Do you have a TV antenna? I sometimes watch British news on PBS or the evening news on one of the other local stations. It doesn't cost anything (other than the initial cost of the rooftop TV antenna and the Channel Master DVR+ box.)

It doesn't cost anything (other than the initial cost of the rooftop TV antenna and the Channel Master DVR+ box.)You/They don't need a DVR to watch 'antenna TV' (aka Over The Air or OTA).TV antennas have changed since the switch to digital TV. You only need a rooftop antenna if you are FAR away from TV stations. There are websites that tell you (and show you) where the stations are around you. When you buy a digital antenna (aka HD antenna), you need to know how far away you are from the stations you want to get.Many TV networks and stations have their news shows available online - but not necessarily 'live'.Full disclosure: I have a Channel Master DVR+ DVR. There are very few prime time shows that interest me. I also have a Roku. Not much of interest on it either - I seldom watch it. I'm going to drop my Amazon Prime and see if I miss Amazon Video. But I learned you need to search for free Roku channels every year or so.
It's gonna rain.
