It is basically always worth having the conversation. My gripe is with people who think the news should just be happier or who check out and want a pat on the back for it.

It is everyone's job to be informed. As fully as is reasonably possible. At least that's my perspective.

It would be nice if the news actually provided more of the background information though and not the least amount they can get away with and then repeat ad nauseam.
