If you were in Yemen would the news that the Saudis were bombing civilians change your actions?

If you were attempting a border crossing into the US with children, would the news influence your approach?

If I were in that situation, I would want all the relevant news possible, in any and all formats available. TV broadcasts of cease-fires are great news for someone who wants to get out, as are radio reports of major hot-spots, etc. Getting the relevant news can be the difference between life and death in these situations.
