Perhaps, but I'm sure there's a better way than sifting through piles of BS that is news. (If you can't tell, I hate the "news"). Maybe the ACLU should set up a monthly email alert with a barometer reading. But I agree with OP. Avoiding the news will make you a more sane person.
- KirinDave 10y agoYou do you. For me, I've always considered news to be a thing to consume responsibly with the full knowledge it is a profession as well as a service. I see no reason to retreat into a bubble because the news isn't happy. The things that nearly drove me to self-harm were real people, not an overcooked headline.
- smokeyj 10y agoNews companies profiteer on polarizing the population by inciting hate and fear. It's advertisement based entertainment like Jerry Springer. As long as you realize that's what "news" is for 90% of the population then indulge away.
