I also do this. And when things get to be too much, I limit myself to one thing a day. That has helped some.

News is just so hard nowadays. I don't watch / pay any attention to legacy media. All of them are biased. Ground news is great, but mainly I go to independent sources, small outlets trying to be non-biased as possible, giving both sides of each issue.

When I read a fortune cookie I always add “in bed” to the fortune. When I read the news I add “interesting if true”. I believe little.

I like to read Democracy Now headlines. Idk what is legacy and ground but they seem really neutral. AP too—they have footage they share with no talking, so you can just see events and hear speakers without commentary.

AP are legacy media. For the US, legacy is NBC, CNN, CNBC, FOX, etc. They're all legacy media. These outlets are on a serious decline in ratings because they are bought stories, not journalism. Ground News is an online site which shows bias, left, right, center, so you can get centered news about an issue that highlights any political leaning on both sides / neutrally.
I am new to this group but the news makes my ptsd worse. I am limiting my exposure. I will not discuss with anyone anymore but I have made some posts . I do not control any of it. The level of chaos is not normal. Misinformation is very extreme. I am pretty cynical about what the news is. I fact check. I do like to keep up with Healthcare medicine social security medicare etc.

I don't really follow the news anymore.
I useed to follow alternative news for a while, a newspaper that had more of an open-minded stance around everything that happened after 2020. Helped them a bit here and there.
But after a while I got turned off from that too. In the end, "Tha News" is always just somebodies perspective, or worse, some type of low key (or sometimes high key) propaganda to get you to believe something.
So seeing "Tha News" that way, I don' t take it so seriously anymore. There is no such thing as a fixed destiny, things can often change in unexpected ways, so I prefer to think in that direction.

I agree with you. We are the CEO and architects of our lives. But this situation is scary fill of despair hopelessness. There is hate anger rudeness. Narcissism run amok

True. All the more reason to try to remain calm. The more they "get" to you, the easier it is for them to manipulate you. It's weird but we are being taught to "stay cool" on a mass scale, even in the face of these atrocities. Of course it's ok to be mad, but to not let the anger ruin our lives.
