That's the thing I hate about the news. Not only is it visual, but it's auditory as well. So, they're basically pummeling you with negativity on 2 different senses! They just hammer you with this crap and I just can't take it. So, I opt out of it altogether.
At least when I read stories online, I can pick and choose what to see, and I don't have to listen to someone complain about it for 10 minutes at a time.
