Oh I pay some attention.* I have friends that are news
  followers, and they tell me stuff.* Then I find out more.*
  Recently, did some research on the Charlie thing, the day it
  happened, because it was big talk. I formed an opinion and now I
  can pretend to know what I'm talking about like everybody else.
  I hear things - Swiss bank changed something related to the Euro
  and people worldwide are shocked and panicking.* Economic
  collapse immanent... WWIII may be on its way, etc etc. All
  possibilities.* I still have to wake up, make my coffee, pay my
  bills.* I'm aware, just not glued. ===]   I watch Doctor Who
  when new episodes come out.* That's it.* I'm not anti-TV, I just
  don't have a news-hobby [and I tend to get all caught-up in
  current affairs when I do start paying attention to news... and
  I have other things I'd rather care about]... and then I start
  having... opinions. I like "I dunno.* Don't know a thing about
  it.* Will this affect me directly?* No?* Ok, well then go along
  and play with your news then. Have fun!" Makes life simpler.*
  People usually tell me in person if something's of dire
  importance and then I can start researching to figure out what
  opinion I want.
