Many of us probably have friends and relations who say things like,"I don't follow the news; it's too depressing."
I try not to be judgmental, but I sometimes think such people are just being "intellectually lazy."
The fact is that most of us follow the news in some degree. At least I hope that's the case.,
I try to "diversify" my news sources, as different outlets will "spin" the news differently, depending on on who is "buttering their bread."
When I am feeling "Conservative," I check in with FOX News, or the NY Post, or the Wall Street Journal. When I am feeling "Liberal," I check in with Meidas Touch,or CNN, or the New York Times.
I don't fully trust any single news source, so I try to be "balanced."
Do you have favorite news sources?

I think BBC Verify is spot on most of the time
They have been exposing Trump's lies on a daily basis since he came back into office

@Ineeddentures I may watch some FOX to see how they "frame" Trump's surrender in Iran.

When my husband was here he’d watch Fox News and then started watching Newsmax. I had to watch that too. I don’t really watch the news these days now that he’s not here.

@lovebuglena That's what I thought too, but I haven't watched it. If I want an ultra-conservative perspective, I watch FOX on YouTube (no TV here).

@TheHorse It’s a conservative station I believe.

I watch Fox and I like to check Newsmax online. I also like to check Aljazerra English.

You can put me in the intellectually lazy category. I seriously do not watch the news. Every time I do, it depresses the heck out of me. If I had to choose, I'd have to go with Fox.

Actually news is very bad for my anxiety but I get newsletter from Huffington Post and some others just to glance over and make sure that nothing is going to get dropped on my head.
