The only news I really watch is NHK Newsline[0], which is outside my country.
Mainly because my wife's family is from the region (not Japan) and NHK is in English and live every hour. So I can stay up to date with events in the pacific and I don't hear much about US politics.
Do I miss some stuff? Sure, but the alternative is not watching the news at all or watching it in a non-english language.
