The issue I have with my relationship to the news is less so the negative slant in and of itself, moreso never being disconnected from it. Most of it is banal or fluff. You can keep track infrequently and be a well informed voter.
I follow tech news aggregators more but could use less of that as well. There's just too much time spent on mindless bullshit.
- brokenmachine 6y agoWhat gets me about it is that it's always stories that I can't do anything about. Like, sure, someone got stabbed. That's terrible for them and their family, but I didn't stab them and I don't know the victim, so in what way does being informed of this enrich my life? I was already aware that people got stabbed sometimes. Can I have that five minutes back please? So I don't watch the "news" anymore.
