I made the decision to quit news broadcasts (TV and radio) some time ago and I don't consider myself any less informed.

Scientific research publications, local papers, special-interest blogs and good old fashioned conversation are more than enough to get the useful information.

It's extraordinarily rare that the TV/radio news ever contains any information that's directly useful to my life and I have better things to do than pan for gold whilst being subjected to varying degrees of propaganda.
