    The news allows you to learn things outside your bubble.

Good thing.

    It allows you to get a glimpse of the terrific or terrible things that are happening around the world,

Bad thing. The internet is usually at least honest in admitting it's going for shock factor. With cable EVERYTHING IS SHOCKING MORE AT 11 HERE'S AN ADD FOR A MERCEDES YOU'LL NEVER OWN.
