Some people don't care about the news very much and some of them even avoid the bad news. In the past I was the same but I have changed. The news is quite important even if it is the bad news. Today I spend more time on the news. At least it gives you some information to make up decisions, such as the investment, living conditions and so on.

We watch the news every evening. It's okay not to watch 'bad' news but it is a bit like putting your head in the sand. I think you need to know what's going on, even if it isn't always pleasant.

Nowadays it is sad to say there are more bad news than good ones.

Broadcast journalism isn't all about the news. It is also all about the sensationalism of ratings. There is always going to be unpleasant news. And you do need to be aware of what is going on around you, and I need to know what is happening around me. But we do not need to know what is happening in areas we don't live in unless it directly affects us. Have you heard about "all the mass shootings in America"? I live in America and wouldn't read or hear about all the mass shootings in America if they were only reported where they should be - in the broadcast areas in which they occurred.

I watch news nowadays. Because you don't know what will happen next.

You are quite right. At least sometimes we can prepare for it well according to the news.

@Janet357 I totally agree with you. Just like if you see there is a fire in front of you, you should go away. If you avoid seeing bad news, you can't see the fire and you may be end up with the fire.

@youless well said. besides, whether there are news or what, the reality of life is, there are bad things happening around and we cannot just ignore them. i think if you are not mentally ready for this, then something is wrong with you.

@youless Why is the news like that. Why they are not highlighting the good things that happen during the day not the bad things that happen in the day. Maybe because they catch more attention but it is full of negativity

I do not trust the media, all they want to do is gain $$s so they exaggerate their stories so we become intrigued, or so they hope. They can not make money if no one reads their stories.

Sometimes the media is like human being. If one often tells lies, then others will not trust him any more.

I think news is good to a certain extent. We can't be like ostriches burying our heads in the sand if something upsets us, but being addicted to news programs is another thing. It can make your fearful.

I can't avoid the news. Whether I browse a social media platform (myLot included) or just sit at the table with family to have dinner, I'll be informed about most news, fake ones as well.

I agree it's important to know what's going on around the world and, along with some knowledge and common sense, it helps you prepare and plan ahead for future events.
