Mostly I despair at the standards of journalism these days that I can't watch news on TV or read the papers due to the sensationalizing and editorializing, let alone worrying about what the news is actually about
No, I don't let my kids watch the news, both out of concern for quality as well as content. They're too sensitive and prone to worry. We do talk about important and relevant current affairs as the interest takes us.
MIL is of the generation where the world stops while you watch the 6pm news so I have to try to coach the kids into ignoring it and finding something else absorbing to do while they're at her house. Sigh - they still come home worrying about Russia starting WWIII
