That’s my mom. She watches two things - CNN and crime shows. She’s so bad about it that I’ve actually locked out CNN before (she was so mad at me). And she wonders why she has anxiety...
With constant bombardment of the pandemic and Trump’s newest lies - I would be an anxious mess too! I can’t even sit in the kitchen and eat due to being able to see and hear the TV in the family room. It makes me so nervous I end up with a horrible stomach ache. It’s no wonder so many people have high blood pressure and heart problems. The news is a constant barrage of negativity.
We need a news channel that only focuses on positive stories. What do you think?

I understand the anxiety for sure, and sometimes I too have to just tune it all out. I have somehow felt that during this administration it's really important to keep up with what is happening. Trying to stay positive is really challenging right now.

CNN is fake news. I have boycotted it. I refuse to watch it.

People need and want to know what's going on in the world. Our local news channels have a lighter take on the news.

I agree with you the news needs more positive stories.

I agree but it's hard sometimes to believe what you're seeing.

These days I have stopped watching any news because they were filming me with loads of negativity

In my opinion, if the news gets tilted the more viewers will be, and of course the rating will go up.

It’s so true. My grandmother would sit in front of the TV for hours watching the news. I would want to go on walks in the neighborhood and she’d always tell me no and then explain some story she saw on the news. It makes the world seem crummier than it already is.
