Yes, I find it very reassuring to watch the news.

I switch back and forth between CNN, MSNBC, and FOXNEWS to see the different views. I always have the sound muted and I read the closed captions.

I find some of the commentators very unlikable and I can't stand to hear them speak. But with the closed captions, I can learn about their misguided opinions without getting irritated. On occasion, they say things that are interesting and thought provoking, and that is why I watch them.

I never learn anything from people who always agree with me.
