if you must watch TV news, tape or Tivo it first.
it's so much better to watch when you have the fast forward control to advance the tape. As soon as the news reader says, "President Bush...." you can push the FF button, and away he goes in a jif.

For up to date tsunami coverage I taped 4 hours of CNN (dear god!) then I could watch the whole thing in around 45 minutes. Gone was all the crud, all the Bush worship, all the Chimpie stuff. I watched Crossfire and every single time Bob Novakula opened his trap, the fast forward got rid of him. It's just so much better that way.

I don't know how so many people can sit through it live. I just cannot do that. My vision of Hell is having to sit through CNN or Fox News live, for all eternity, and all the presidents were forevermore Republican.
