It's not that hard to kick the habit (of TV news). I did so successfully 37 years ago and only by accident have watched any since. Yet I'm seldom if ever surprised by not knowing something someone else knows from TV news. This morning when I got on my exercycle I accidentally watched about 90 seconds of TV news, because from where I was sitting the remote didn't change the channel fast enough. Most I've watched in decades.
You will live much longer (lower blood pressure, less muscle tension, etc.) and know much more (which you will learn from other sources in the time saved)!
