Best advice I can give you is to do as I used to do: turn the channel when the news or anything about the news came on tv, refuse to allow news magazines or newspapers in the house, and if anyone mentioned a news event - ask them to change topic, if they refuse, leave the room or distract yourself with something to ensure you do not hear it, if you are online and it pops up - change sites or "x" out the ad, delete the post, or surf to another page, if you are online chatting with someone ask them to change topic and why and if they refuse block them.

I did all that for a few years - I spiraled if I watched news at all so I just stopped. The last year I have been able to watch it again but it took awhile. You have to look after yourself and there is no shame in it.

If it helps you any at all though - I will say there are people out there who believe it to have been staged by the government and filmed by crisis actors and the media - in that scenario it would mean a bunch of people got paid a huge amount of money to play their parts well, the "dead" were then relocated somewhere to "disappear", their families given scripts, etc ... but nobody really died ... the only thing that would have happened was a lot of ppl got rich, the nation and world got duped, and Obama got another chance to ask for guns to be taken away. So- if it helps to think perhaps they may really be alive, try that...then, just don't listen to the news anymore
