Default the point of the news is to keep us watching

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.
