Back in the 1980s there was a TV channel in Los Angeles that had a "News" programs that would start off with all the murders, rapes, car crashes, etc. in LA, then they had all of those in the State of California, then they went on to all the tragedies in the U.S., and then they went on to entire world. I'd get some food on the way home from work and sit and eat it while watching the "News" At the end of those three 1/2 hour programs I felt like shit. After a few months of that I finally realized consuming all that horrific news was causing me to be pretty severely depressed. What led to that was a horrific deadly car crash in Africa that they showed at the end of their "World News". I realized that my own life was going pretty well and I needed to keep that in mind and be thankful. So I quit consuming all that tragedy everyday. A few years later "Fox Entertainment Group" bought that TV station and in the years after they transitioned from "horrific news" to "political news" that is focused on "outrage". We can see now how that's very addictive for some folks. Their current outrage of the day is "Trans" folks and they will keep promoting that as long as their viewers tune in. After a bit they'll move on to a new "outrage of the day". A good example of that is "Bumpstocks". FOX News and their viewers screamed about their right to have those for a few months, and then FOX News moved on to a new "outrage". A few months later Trump banned bumpstocks and I didn't see a single peep of outrage from Trump supporters or FOX News. I made a point to ask some of those on Facebook about that and they all said the same thing, "I don't care". Truth is, just like that deadly car crash in Africa, trans folks have no affect on me or anyone who's not "trans" at all. And FOX News will move on to a new "outrage of the day" and their viewers will forget about Trans folks as soon as their given a new "outrage of the day" to be mad and scream about. They are addicted to "outrage" and FOX News (and others) supply it. But if you turn that bullshit off and count your blessings you'll detox and be a lot happier.
