If it doesn't cause you to act, then the news is just entertainment

Covid vaccines made available was the last news that actually changed my behavior. That was like years ago. The rest is just entertainment written to make people scared and angry

Bullshit. Responsible news consumption is how we make informed decisions about the world. It's a critical part of any democracy which is why Burke called it "the fourth estate."

That sounds like a ‘you problem’. I change my behaviors and my attitudes accordingly based on what I intake and digest. When McCain first ran against Obama, he was a moderate with decades of experience who had seen the dark side of war and wouldn’t thrust us into one senselessly.

Thanks to the news I saw the rapid conversion of a formerly moral politician into someone who would say anything for power.

When the situation in Maui came up I donated as I have in the past to people affected by disasters.

Should you assume information that doesn’t affect you personally is irrelevant or are you willing to step down from your Main Character title card?
