Trying to listen...

Alright, so I stopped listening to the radio (I already don't watch the news on television) about 6 weeks before the election because I was getting really stressed by the antagonistic rhetoric; I left the country shortly after the election where I was tuned into world events at a different level than in the US, and now I am back and the media seems to be working overtime to increase the stress levels over the fiscal cliff. The stress inducing information does not seem proportinate with my experience...how are others handling, processing and dealing with being connected and informed, but not overwhelmed and manipulated?
