The State of Television

Television is sick these days! I enjoy watching news and like to be informed of current events. However all of the news channels are obsessed with covering the presidential campaigns. I appreciate being informed on candidates so I can make a good decision come election day. The problem I have is it's 10 months until election day.
I wonder how many meaningful news stories aren't being covered due to the elections. It's high time the news networks learn the term "balance".
Thanks for listening, I feel better.
