Several years ago, I quit watching televised news. It had become all sensationalism and commentary. Plus a bunch of talking heads arguing. That’s not news. It also slanted overwhelmingly negative. I also dramatically reduced my social media intake. And hid all the negative people and political ranters. It saved my sanity. You can’t miss anything really important. You just don’t get the daily garbage. It is sad it has come to this.
This is awesome! Couldn't agree more - news media needs a major reshaping.

I so agree. And it impacts society negatively as well. Garbage in, garbage out.
This is fantastic—and exactly what I needed to read this morning. Thank you, Elle.
Oh I'm so glad! Thank you Terrell!
