Election night (Tuesday, November 8) was the last time I watched ANY
television news. I do not even watch ANY of the late night comedians because I do not want to hear their take on the news. I do read some news on Slate or the Guardian. I think that lately I have been reading too much. Also, this week I started watching the Rachel Maddow show a little bit. I like the way she turns the news into stories. She keeps things calm. But maybe I have to stop watching her and stop reading altogether because I am feeling sad. Or worse. It is is like a deep feeling that something is wrong . . . .something stronger than sadness. M |

When I'm not doing well, I just can't watch the news at all, but sometimes I can read it.
Trust your instincts and only watch what makes you feel comfortable, or maybe only watch programs that you know are soothing for now. I'm so sorry you are feeling this way Mari |

I agree, only watch what you feel comfortable watching.
I have been on the internet too much in general. Need to get a grip. bizi

I totally understand.
I'm not sure there are news stations that don't have at least a slight slant politically. I personally think this type of thing is horrible. I have some background in journalism and the news media today is abhorrent to me. I was taught just the facts...who, what,why, when, where and how...get a variety of opinions / views from experts etc. Don't show your personal opinion. Opinion is for opinion pieces only. I think PBS might be more or less ok. I honestly don't even know! So, if most of the news you watch tends to have a slight slant to it, like it or not, you are being influenced. I personally just think it is healthier to get the facts and form your own opinion and then now and again watch something that is clearly slated as an opinion piece simply because that is what you like and enjoy. AND this last election was sooo over the top (IMHO) with rhetoric, upset, anger....it left me cold and at times nervous. I haven't stopped watching the news, but have CUT BACK A LOT and we actually watch a few different channels when we do. Very disappointed in the media and how negative everything seems to be. |
