\turn that off! you know i think the news are derpessing.\
clear all

Explanation:

To determine the correct sentence, we analyze subject - verb agreement and spelling. The noun "news" is uncountable, so it should take a singular verb. In the first option, "the news is depressing" has the correct subject - verb agreement (singular verb "is" with uncountable "news") and correct spelling. The second option has a subject - verb agreement error ("news are") and a spelling error ("derpessing" instead of "depressing").

Answer:

"Turn that off! You know I think the news is depressing."
