I probably check the news a dozen times a day, but when I go off the grid and am unable to follow it, nothing ever seems to happen that directly affects me or that I can directly affect. Take weather forecasts out of consideration and it’s even more true.
All the news these days is designed to create an emotional response, usually outrage, smugness, or panic. I like to know what is going on, but I hate being manipulated.
