Perhaps you misunderstand. I like knowing what's going on too. It's too bad that those "news" channels do NOT provide real news! They are biased tripe masquarading as news. Here's an example. I have recently tuned in to see an HOUR dedicated to SPECULATION, ALL of which was wrong and uninformed to begin with, regarding the trial of a stupid pop super star. They could have summerized it in ONE SENTANCE. Jackson was acuited. Then they could move ON and NEVER speak of it again. The rest was content-free news. Look inside you know it to be true.
Now the BBC on the other hand. They give you just the facts, the FACTS, not random speculation that leads nowhere, or worse, stating unfounded stuff AS FACTS. I've also been witness to an "interview" in which, at the end, the interviewer said "if you still don't believe in psychic powers after all this, then I can't help you". "All this', so you know, consisted of quacks parading random excuses for why their testing has provided no concrete proof of psychic phenomenon, or just outright stating it exists and all they need to do is prove it.
So do your brain a favor and get your news from reliable sources. Some NET BLOGS show more integrity than those stations. BBC's main site is just the best example I could come up with, but set some really high standards and stick with them.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
