Anime or drama is made to become a story. Most of stories are based from our experiences or concerns, so we can understand easily to watch the streams of Anime or Drama. But how about news ? Most of news were made from unexpected happening. If you hear or see news in foreign language and foreign country, you are able to understand hardly because you don't have not only the base of the county's culture but also experiences you faced. It's my opinion.

Yes. and, in addition, news use more difficult words than Anime and Drama. ニュースの方が、より難しい単語を使うから、というのもあると思います。
