This is true I think.
I have not had broadcast/cable TV on in the house in perhaps 18 years.
And yet when I take the family to a hotel and there's CNN/Fox/etc. running in the breakfast room it always seems like the world decided, at that precise moment, to inch close to the brink of Armageddon.

And then I remember that it is just what the news "does" these days — and then realize that the beeping I am hearing is my waffle that is done.
