Not sure why you'd change the channel....kids pay little attention to the news, until they start to pay taxes!

True, but then the issue becomes "who decides what is unchildworthy"? I think daily news programming is for adults, or at least teens. Younger kids don't understand or need to know about the ugliness around them, IMHO. They can't process a murder in any useful sense. And they need to be kids for as long as possible.
