Re: Starting Day 4 Of My News Blackout.

The upcoming week will be really bad. I will not be watching any news. So divisive and dishonest.

Re: Starting Day 4 Of My News Blackout.

For better or for worse, I'm directly involved in a particularly egregious issue, pandemic related, that has caused me a lot of unavoidable second guessing and discontent since the full effects hit.

 

In order to answer the questions still lingering in my mind, I watch news. Lately, there's been so much "same old/repeat/same old/repeat, even I have cut back. 

At some point I'll reach out to authorities if I can't settle the issue in my mind by myself. 

There is a vulnerable second party involved, and because of my personal responsibility to her, I need facts.

 

Sometimes I wind up enjoying a laugh or two based on something I see in the news. Typically not the intention of the source.
