Oh, Dear.

I understand. Until the news moves onto something else, watch less of it or stop it for a while.

I am listening to music, reading, and going on the computer to safe web sites.

I just joined netflix for 8 dollars a month. I am really tired of trump evading my space and the gun lobby is just too powerful.

The TV news has never been this unhealthy before. I've never been more shaken up by their hype, speculation, and their repetitiveness. It's never been so political.

There are a broad scale of bad issues that they are talking about all of the time now. I believe that groups of people are paying them to slant the prospective of the news. I don't think that this happened when I was growing up. There are no Paul Harvey's with the rest of the story anymore. He use to bring good out of the news. At the end of his show, he would say," Paul Harvey, Good day!".

I try to only get a little bit of news, then I change the channel. Sometimes I hear more then I wanted to hear.

As far a violence, I believe that CNN, and Fox have stirred up some people who are ticking time bombs to the point where they have committed copy cat crimes.

I think that this is awful that it happens. I don't know why some people become that way. I guess that they are sociopaths. This confuses people about mental health problems. They should never label us in the same category as sociopaths. I care about people. I care about their welfare. I wish for them to be happy. That side of me is normal like regular people who love their families, and neighbors.

I wonder how many suicides the cascading bad, and unhealthy news have caused. Awful. BF

When these horrible things happen people want to know why and they can't accept that some people are just evil, or like you said BF, people don't know the difference between sociopaths and people with mental illness...

So what if he was on Valium!!! What difference does that make?

People with mental health problems are more likely to become victims of violent crime than perpetrators, but nobody talks about that when these things happen...

In the last two nights, I've been troubled from the news that comes onto Facebook. I've been deleting some of these posts. I might have to stop looking at Facebook for awhile, but that's where relatives communicate. BF

Oh, dear!

Sorry.

I understand about family.

Maybe check FB less often and only stay for a few minutes.
