I agree that in general the news is more about ratings/money. Personally I'm not usually sucked in by the sensationalism. I will catch up with current events checking in with a couple different sources for understanding and perspective. For my brain this war over religion and oil is especially sickening to me with all the horrible acts of voilence on human beings - and there are no really good answers.
