Absolutely. I stopped watching "TV" (by "TV", I mean you to mean largely the cable / broadcast news and info-tainment diet) several years ago, and just check in infrequently.  Honestly, getting my information from print, YouTube, the web, and other resources helps streamline my intake, and makes me a lot less a commodity to the talking heads.

Not at all surprised that your dad is happier now that he's off of news.
