You must be getting your news from a bubble gum machine
What do you mean? I don't have cable, so I don't get CNN. Most of the news I get on the radio and on the net. Once in awhle I watch the local news on tv. They don't discuss anything, they just report national and international news from some news feed. I don't subscribe to any magazines or any newspaper at the moment.
I have been reading a lot of news articles from all over, including the barf alert ones, here.
