Is reading the news / politics bad for you?

[Member243850]

I was wondering if maybe sometimes reading the news can actually be bad for your mental health or general well being lol

So I think I am going to take a nice looooooong vacation from reading political garbage from now on as it seems to be poison for the soul

I think I will be much happier without negative energy and all the mindless arguments and bickering that can go on for days and days lol I believe it's just not worth it

lol you will never find happiness with mindless bickering guys

All this bickering and it will eat up all your time!

It will just make you sad and depressed!

i know there are 2 sides to every argument...
and i can not possibly know enough of every issue ..

maybe i am missing key information...
or key information is being withheld from me...
or misunderstood the situation..
or there is more to the story that i am clueless too..
or i am being lied too...
or i let my bias cloud my interpretation..

but in today's politics and..
internet fast rate of information coming at me ..
real news..
fake news..
alternative facts..
real facts..

and i tried to see the other side of the story..
from the Trump and Republican side of it....
but i can not see it. i only see how they are being evil .. and being lead by evil.. to do evil things...
and only want to steal for the poor to pay to the rich.
kill this great nation.. one bad decision at a time.

the many lower-middle to poor class Americans ...are letting the rich do it.. and think it is a good thing.
this is what we need... and it is for our best interest.

it is like the frog in a cool water pot .... relaxing..
and the water temp is going up 1 degree .. slowly..
slowly boiling the frog...
as it dies.. happy to see the bubbles around it.

I SURE HOPE I AM MISSING SOMETHING..
AND EVERYTHING GOING GREAT ...

oooowww... look bubbles!
