News News Is Gross!

[PTSDfree]

I just watched TV news for the first time in years. It amazes me that people consider watching this trash in order to be an informed citizen. And not even Bill O'Reilly supports Trump. Bummer. TV makes me depressed. I spent most of my time guessing what the commercials were for. :(

I know exactly what you mean. Kardashians are not news, models are not news, physical transgressions are news if they hurt innocent people and those can trigger me too.

I have to be very selective in what I watch and TV? I have not had a TV subscription in over 5 years because like you said, it is about 99 percent junk.

By not having a tv, l have been able to concentrate on my emotional status. Have become way more athletic also. I had a weakness for the constant barrage of restaurant advertising, where l believe l needed to go try the actual item being presented. I tended to eat my emotions during my abusive marriage so that l wouldn't respond with anger.

I never watch the news on tv at all. I quit watching the news three years ago when my husband died. He was so sick that all he could actually follow was the corporate news on tv, it was on all of the time. I mostly watch movies from my dvds or watch the Hallmark channel.

I get my news online and I find it interesting for me but it is also depressing at times so I have to take a time out occasionally.

I totally agree with you. We have to filter what we watch.
