Is "The News" ruining America?

Is "The News" ruining America?
I'm really getting sick of the news. All of it.
This country is so dependent on talking heads for their thinking that it's like we're becoming a bunch of zombies.
The politicians use the news, the parties use the news, the fucking newscasters are lobbied by the right and left.
It's bullshit.
Also, crap like TMZ, Perez Hilton and all the other bullshit that glorifies the fucked up world of celebrities is also dragging us down.
What's the solution?
There is none.
TV and the Internets are here to stay.
2 of our most used innovations are destroying the fabric of our nation.
Of course, i'm using the internets to state an opinion, so I guess my thought is kinda BS.
I hope somebody gets my point and it makes them think just for a moment.
Ok, done
