My issue with the news is not so much about whether or not it is negative.
My issue is about the "Vibe."

I wish they did not try to make it exciting -- music, production with fast cutting scenes . . . . . . repetition, preview of what is coming up, .. fast cutting back and forth, fast talking, . . . . .Even the voices are annoying.

They are trying to keep us watching.
All of that produces anxiety.

After watching it, sometimes I do not even know if I got any actual information. It is almost like they are confusing us or giving us only pieces of info.

If there is something I want to know about, I have to read it online.
TV news is pretty awful and depressing.

It is hard because sometimes I do want to know what is going on . . . . . and
yet I have to focus on my own stability.

Sometimes TV helps me with my mood and anxiety stuff. Other times, it makes things worse.
I wish I could count on the TV to use as a tool to help me get through my days.
