I can understand your reticence to watch the news, because they do over-report, what to them, are major events. I suppose they are major events to us too, but there are only so many ways you can present things to the population and the population soon get tired of hearing the same things over and over.
i think the Election suffered as a result of this, and of course the leaders debates too...they(imo) trivialised the election, and didn't tell us much...smoke and mirrors....turned a lot of people off politics.
