Last year after some family tragedy and living comoletely alone for the first time, I stopped watching the news (really TV entirely) and I gotta say I am generally happier. I won’t weigh in on “right” or “wrong” in a moral sense because at the end of the day that is pretty subjective. But I will say that it might be right for you, and that it definitely was for me. The world’s gonna do what it does and it will keep going whether or not I watch, so I may as well restrict my attention to the things I care about and can personally control. I’ve recently started occasionally updating myself but only in brief.
