Extra, Extra Read All About It!

I'm not sure if you know this about me but I LOVE the News.. I used to love watching the 5 or 6 o'clock news, but now I feel every time I turn on the TV to catch the local news I get depressed. So now I usually just read the newspaper or check out online news.. It's a lot better because you can pick and choose which stories to read about and it still keeps me updated about what's going on in the World!
