"News" is just a way to constantly bombard you with negative bullshit which will cause all kinds of anxiety and resulting other problems.
I stopped watching television about 8-9 years ago. I don't have a TV or a radio anymore. My car's radio antenna is physically disconnected from the receiver. No newspaper, no general news portals, local or international. Haven't missed out on a single important thing. Tremendous improvement in mindset and interests.
