Poll Do You Avoid the News?

[Doctor Omega]

Do you pride yourself on keeping up with current events?

Or is the news simply too bleak and depressing for you now?

Which camp do you fall into?

 

[Doctor Omega]

I watch it far less than I used to.

Sometimes I could kick myself, but the world seems to be going to Hell in a handcart and it is is difficult - and seems ultimately pointless - to willingly bombard myself with all of that when one remains powerless to do pretty much anything about it.

I see why you have that attitude. I keep up with the news but I think that’s exacerbating my depression. I should stop but it’s too addicting.

I haven't watched the news in years! I hate it! We are just pawns in the chess board of the tyrants and i don't want any part of it!

Do You Avoid the News?

No, but neither do I necessarily chase it...

Unless it's on a particular topic that interests me.

Oh and I generally follow the adventures of the Orange Orangutan... Comedy gold!

I read more new than I watch. That being said, I'm too swamped with news to read every single article that interests me. I try to keep up with politics and the Trump saga, mostly. I get most of the political news from The Palmer Report, MSN, NPR, and (to a somewhat lesser extent) Yahoo!

For Rolf Dobelli, quitting the news started off as an experiment -- until he realized it improved his life. He encourages us to go deep instead of broad when it comes to keeping up with current events. Listen in to the top reasons he stopped tuning in and the way he did it.
