I like watching the news. I like knowing what's going on in the world even if media can't tell the whole story. It's their perception. But what I interpret is my perception right. Actually now that I think of it, isn't everything my/our own perception? We have to be careful to weigh the "truths" we hear. For example the e-bola outbreak. How many do we have in the US? 3? How many people die from heart disease 600,000. That should be enough truth to keep the perspective balanced.
