I really don't wanna know about the bad news either. That's why I quit reading and watching the news altogether about 6 months ago. I don't read newspapers or watch the news programs on TV. I don't know much about what's going on in the world or in my country but to me its OK :)
About a couple of times a month I visit usatoday.com and people.com and that's it. When I get really bored then I might read some of the news online.
But I do read a section of an online newspaper daily. It doesn't have bad news because it is more consumer oriented. The translation of the name of it would be consumer24.com
yeah, I don't have much of a clue of what's going on, but at least I don't have to feel bad about every bad news I read :D
(I hope this all makes sense...)
oh and btw I spend my days in forums and I read engadget and gizmodo :D
