The BBC has come downhill a lot recently as well with a lot more focus on the casual discussions between anchors rather than actual coverage (at least in prime-time slots).
I strongly recommend Channel 4 News - the only thing still worh watching on the UK's channel 4.

Again, I can't sleep. It's well after midnight and once again I'm awake. It's been like this for as long as I can remember.
I know there is more to life than this. I know, for certain, that my life, and the lives of those who are like me could have so much more meaning than they do right now.
Each day doesn't need to feel wasted.
I know there is some unfinished purpose to our lives. I know that there is something we should be doing.
I know other people think this way.
I know that most television, advertising, religion, work, whatever, are a waste. I know that there are things we should be accomplishing right now instead of sitting on our asses, getting fatter by the second.
I'm awake right now because I can't let another second go by without doing something about it.
I know others think like me. I know they are scattered all over this fine planet. I know that in order to accomplish this greater... life, we need to start talking, start thinking, start building things together.
We are getting old. Every day is another lost day of potential, another lost opportunity to build the new world we crave.
I envision a world of freedom and meaning. I envision a place where people have purpose behind their actions, and who carve out their own destinies from the stone of each new day. I believe in clear thoughts and reason. I believe in letting each person find their own path and recognizing that new ideas may come from any source.
I believe in a world where difference, diversity and change are embraced as great virtues. I long for a time when we humans understand ourselves deeply enough to have reasons for the things we do; to have purpose and a goal rather than aimless meandering followed by a nasty death with our potential unfulfilled.
I am awake right now because I want to change things.
If you feel the same way, contact me. Let's start together.
