at least not very much. I remember in the 90s when the Heaven's Gate thing happened and the nonstop coverage that followed. When the story started to fade, they picked up a story about solar flares and reported it as if the world was about to end. Watching too much cable news will depress you, whether it is primary/election season or not. To run news 24 hours a day and to keep people's attention they have to distort things to keep people's adrenaline/anxiety up. Turn it off.
