Avoid the news. If it's important enough, you will hear about it anyway by word of mouth. Having featured in several journalist's interviews and write-ups, I know how inaccurate they can be about stuff I actually said. If they're inaccurate about simple stuff, it stands to reason that they will be even more inaccurate about major stuff. Old, old saying. "Believe nothing that you hear and only half of what you see."
