Watching the news on TV

Has anyone else stopped watching the news on TV? Granted, there is a need to be informed about certain things such as paths of hurricanes, etc., but 99% of the news is so negative that we are very selective about what we watch for about a year now.

I noticed that except for the PBS station, the major networks show news with about 1% good-feeling stories only. It really should be the other way around, but until the majority of viewers start wanting to see positive things instead of things to worry about the broadcasting of the news may not change much. At least we feel better not watching the news.
