Of course we can put our heads in the sand. The problem is: if you do this, you should no longer be allowed to vote. Because democracy can only survive if the feedback cycle is encouraged, not sabotaged: (Good|bad) news => critical thinking by the citizen => citizen votes accordingly => corruption (and other problems) are corrected. If you stop reading news, you stop being a responsible citizen. If you feel bad about the news, there's 1 thing you should do: Channel the anger and produce positive action. It will make you feel good and problems will vanish. That is how this works.
