I don’t. The best thing I’ve ever done is about 7 years ago I just stopped watching the news. I read a story here or there and maybe I watch 15 minutes of CNBC but that’s it. I always figured if they were so wrong about stuff I knew about they have to be just as wrong about stuff I don’t know about. Plus, it has the added benefit of when someone wants to talk politics in the cockpit I can just say - I really couldn’t care less.
