when I first lost my job and was home full time there was a mass shooting. I spent 3 days listening to TV while on the computer. I ended up so depressed it wasn't even funny. After that, I never watched the news again.
Life became much less stressful.
You make very wonderful thought-provoking points.
Thank You for this post!
I'd want to know important things but it seems like now the important things turn into, something else. Why are politics instantly applied? Instead of reporting, they add in opinions and if those opinions are what people want to hear, they accept it as fact. Plus it's like wrestling. The impact hurts those involved yet there's always something fake about it. Really hard to describe though.
The News is not News anymore. It is all 'Talk Radio' now. when I visit my Mom once a year she watches the news each night and all it is is yelling. We are being yelled at. If all you watch is 'news anchors' yell at you about how you should be thinking or what is the right way to feel you soon start to believe it and become a sheep.
I check the news online... read what I want to to stay informed but I will not listen to yelling about how I should feel about the news story. I have my own mind and morals I do not need their imput on how I should feel.
Actors seeking ratings. People in the field looking for the perfect shot.
