THere's a Theodore Sturgeon story about avoiding the News.
"And Now The News..." is about a obsessive newswatcher who suddenly goes somewhat mental and avoids all interaction with humanity, because the news is always bad and "each man's death diminishes me" - it finishes with the sentence -
"And he killed four people before they took him down"
