I think network news should be called, “What we think you should worry about next.”
I only see bits and pieces of it while it’s on the monitors at the gym, but it’s almost always the same predominant message…
Be afraid.
Eff that.
There are so many amazing and beautiful things going on in the world. Those things are inspiring and motivating.
More of that, please.
Of course, I want to be informed and know what’s going on in the world. But the non stop fear cycle is tiring. And so much news nowadays is just biased spin now.
I realize we are responsible for what we watch, but I can’t help but think the world might be less afraid if we weren’t constantly barraged with fear messages.
