Maybe, but it's the truth. Most events don't matter on a local or individual level and having access to global news updated every single second is a very recent development, one that seems to be contributing to an incredible amount of anxiety and stress for many people/society as a whole. Perhaps a more reasonable approach is reading the news once a week. You stay informed, but it's not something you worry about daily.

It's not the truth. You can absolutely read the news and live a happier life from it. I feel better knowing what's going on outside my little bubble even if it's bad stuff. It's on the individual to find a happy balance of media consumption for their mental health in the same way it's on the individual not to eat candy every day for lunch.
