Maybe good for your mental health. Not good in all other aspects.

@suzannealdrich Are you saying you don't mind the news, even if it is gory, as long as it's not violent imagery? @J12t It's better if there are no accompanying visuals, but of course it's all still so awful. I tend to listen to news podcasts for this reason. |
@J12t The constant barrage of evil, violence, and outrage was completely unhealthy for me. It was quite noticeable how much my anxiety improved after giving up cable. Years later I got the same effect from quitting social media. I wish I could just get the news without being exposed to constant violent imagery, which is incredibly upsetting to me, to the point that I can’t function.
