Given the accuracy of our news sources over here, I think taking things not-seriously is the way to go. One of the things you learn is that it's hard to get the complete story out of anywhere, so you have to stay calm at the first piece of inflammatory news and slowly put the puzzle together. It keeps people from flying off the handle totally (sometimes).
Of course, the volume of gratuitous insults goes up, but I just think everyone needs a chill pill.
