This is why I avoid the news entirely.
We've had dinner on our laps a few times this past week, and my parents keep putting the news on during.
And it's making dinner a very depressing moment at the moment, particularly with the atrocity in Sousse, Tunisia, which is on the news constantly.
And if it's not that, it's French businessmen being decapitated, people being slaughtered by Boko Haram, news pieces on the life expectancy and AIDS epidemic in South Africa.
And the worst thing is that there's crap all on TV to change to. :/
