I can't remember who said it, but a favourite saying of mine is "isn't funny how the world only creates just enough news to fill 30 minutes every day".
I record the 6pm news on Tivo every night. Sometimes I watch it, mostly I don't. If something big breaks, I can watch it on the news.
Generally being alert to blogs and twitter will let you find out all the necessary to follow stories.
People waste far too much of their lives absorbing non-essential news items. In retrospect, most of us would be flat out recalling 4 big news events from the prior year.
