No news are good news?

When you are abroad, you realize that only thanks to Internet you can be informed about Spanish news. In fact, Spain doesn´t exist in Canadian newspapers.

But in the other hand, I don´t care about it at all. My Spanish news intake was so high that I need a rest. Do you know what I mean?


Besides the fact the news are a bit repetitive -to say the least-, the type of information covered is focused on negative stories. And I´m sure most of us are addicted to the news. Excuses like "I read several newspapers to get perspective on what´s happening" are just poor excuses.

In conclusion, you are becom¡ng distracted from what´s important by reading about what is not.

I already know what Politicians are gonna say. I already know TV shows nothing but scandal, murders, wars. I already know most of the news are inconsequential. Maybe It´s time to turn my back on news. Maybe no news are good news....

Really Alex, no news are good news. The main thing in Planeta Asturias is the prodigious patch of your countryman Fernando Alonso. I hope that he will win this weekend in Indianapolis!!!
