:whathesaid:

The answer is to not watch the news.
A multi-headed network that promotes pessimism to try and propagate sensationalism and therefore get more viewers.

If there's one thing my family and those I consider friends all have in common it's that we strongly reject news stations.

You can be informed without watching the news.
Pick a topic that interests you, read about it across multiple networks to get current information.

Most news is overblown anyway.
The whole Trayvon Martin thing is a perfect example of negative sensationalism.

A few months ago I decided to completely tune out and stop exposing myself to any news whatsoever.

I absolutely unplugged and stopped paying any attention to world events.

I have no idea what has been going on.

This has been the best thing for my mental health and emotional wellbeing and I truly wish I had done this years and years ago.

Reading scary and upsetting news was a huge factor in anxiety and depression I felt before and i feel huge benefits from detoxing from bad news , doom and gloom.

All that being aware of the endless horror stories ever did was reduce my quality of life and trouble my soul.

Now I focus all my attention on my passions and hobbies .

I highly recommend other people try the media detox as well.

The news is toxic and it really was making me sick .

I really don't think so.



I mean didn't they push a flu pandemic a few years ago?  all it made me think was that being an introvert is gonna finally pay off.

Glad so many of you good people have come to the same conclusion as I about the news, that it's just another arm of the propaganda machine designed to keep us afraid and vulnerable and to keep the people in power where they're at. The news is far from an accurate reflection of the current state of affairs.

Don't watch it. Little good will come of it.

I'm glad your another person who can shrug this fear off. I should have said, 'I am confident people will feel afraid.'

You might not be worried but the millions who get lost in the news will be scared and weak and vulnerable. Take old folks, they aren't too tech savvy  most of the time so will stick to the tv for news, old people who are frightened will die because of stress.

I'm sick of all you hypocrites
Holding me at bay
And I don't need your sympathy
To get me through the day
Seasons change and so can I
Hold on boy, no time to cry
Untie these strings, I'm climbing down
I won't let them push me away

About what? I don't know what goes on behind the public eye, I don't work or know of the operations of intelligent agencies, pharma companies or health organisations or food distributors or farmers.

I came to my conclusions based on the fact that most old folk believe what they are told by the news, thus allowing them to be easily controlled by fear which really does affect everyone's health and well being.

I'd like to see someone stand up against it...oh wait people try and then magically have accidents. Try exposing the oil industry and the food companies and banks, you won't get far because they don't give a **** about anyone.
