A decade ago I switched from my local morning news to a French show. Instead of violence, traffic accidents, and soccer, the French show talked about recipes, books, travelling, etc. It didn't really try to be a news show, just something light to start off the day.

Nowadays I prefer silence during breakfast.

We watch classic cartoons during breakfast. It's an amazing way to start your day.

I cut out news (except here) about three years ago. My life has not changed, except that I'm not pissed off as much. Turns out all that the 24 hour news cycle really doesn't teach you very much.

There's a radio show in the mornings in my country that I call "the hour of indignation". A "news" presenter rants on for many minutes about something that is very wrong with the nation. There's another one later in the day, so I think this radio station has a lot of success making people mad.
