This was on Gutfeld last night.
Lots of truth in it.
Trump's losing to democrat cheating, Biden as president, global elites stomping on us, Covid, forcing jabs, masks, closing stores, keeping everyone home, etc. Has often got me down.

Yep, paying attention to the demonic communist take over of our country has caused me a lot of anxiety. Jabs that kill, rigged elections and a media that has been corrupted to the point that Orwell needs a golden statue in Time Square that says, I told you so...

I’m sorry, but this is required work for the prophets and watchmen of our day. A lot of jobs take a toll on the worker. So be it.

I’ve cut back. Yes, life’s more peaceful without constant current events.
For now.

Chicken or the egg? Do people who are sick in the head seek to obsessively watch more news for things like confirmation bias?

On the other hand those who feel a little sick because of paying rapt attention to the various news feeds will ALWAYS be one step ahead of the gas lines, food lines, water lines and ammo lines that will be created by those who don’t. Better sick now than sick later. Just fyi.

If the news wasnt always about politics, this wouldnt be an issue. The news is mostly negative or triggering content. I get more fun and positive news reading FreeRepublic so I turn here for the most part. On tv I mix up weather channel and a handful of other channels to get a highlight. Most of ABC, NBC, CNN, etc. I can hardly stomach for more than 10 minutes.

Ignorance is Strength.
Directly from 1984, now they want us to believe that.
Don't watch the news, don't pay attention to what we're doing. Close your eyes and trust us.

Yep, some news makes me sick to my stomach so I take breaks but it is good to keep up. When I saw empty shelves in Italy in early 2020, I went shopping and beat the rush when it hit here a few weeks later.
When people were staring at the empty shelves where the TP should be with a panicked look on their face, I had a 36 pack of Mega rolls sitting at home.

If current events in this country aren't causing you some anxiety, then you're not paying attention enough. It isn't good to obsess over the current state of affairs 24/7, but the country is at a tipping point and almost past the point of no return.

Does this include relentlessly refreshing FR to see this?
