> Though, I think people should be forced to confront it, because it's the only way it's ever going to improve.
I'm conflicted about this.
On one hand I agree, and the news performs a vital service in exposing us to the terrible things in our world that we should try to fix.
But on the other, too much news can numb and demoralize you. The US political news cycle is a good example of this too. I can only stand so much of it before having to tune out for a while, even though I want to engage to the extent that I am able.
More important than watching the news is choosing a good couple of charities to donate to, IMO.
