Except for your discomfort with it, which you seem to have resolved in the post above, I don't see anything pathological or odd about your facination with current events as long as long as you feel as sense of control over it, and your anxiety is not overstimulated. Sometmes our attractions are to rather morbid news stories, and I feel this is just human nature. There is a fine line between the excitement the news broadcasts generate in an attempt to hold our attention, and anxiety. Perhaps some self-talk around this issue might help.
