The New Normal

[MC2]

I am too
But when you watch the new it’s still all doom and gloom

Easy solution to that problem.

I used to like watching the news because I liked to “be informed”. But I think that people should realize that the news isn’t in the business of informing us anymore. They are in the business of trying to scare the shit out of us so that we’ll watch more news.

Absolutely, 100% right.

Screw the news. People were congratulating each other yesterday after being fully vaxed. It was a good feeling.

There is no news anymore ...its all opinions

TV news, especially cable news, is nothing but sensationalism. You need to read writers who make logical arguments based on verifiable evidence. Reading actual logically constructed arguments activates the smart part of your brain. Watching TV does the opposite.

You need to ignore anonymous interweb posters. (I know that's ironic, but after several late night drunken rants about clients I need to remain incognito.) Avoid Google and Facebook, which use algorhythms to steer you to things you like to hear, but in reality they are only giant confirmation bias machines.

So true
The really good reporters just read the news. It doesn't matter to me what their opinion is of said news.

especially cable news

This. My wife watches like regular old ABC news and it is much more reasonable.

The thing about cable... if people didn't watch it they wouldn't do it. So we all have some responsibility.
