I do not think I can watch the mainstream cable news anymore. Almost everything reported on the news is mostly negative. The mass shooting that occurred at the synagogue in Pennsylvania, along with the attempted bombings last week. Other information includes politics, where it seems as though everyone enjoys insulting each other without getting anything done. I don't know, I wish people would JUST get along. I think I am going to stop watching TV...It feels like surreal thing to do, but in all honesty, I think it's one of the healthiest things to do at this point. Anyone else agree?

I only watch tv sometimes when Im bored but still i usually just like comedy. I also watch alot of older stuff too.

I don't have a TV. I watch old shows on Hulu and Netflix. Occasionally I listen to National Public Radio, which doesn't have politicians yelling at each other. It can be depressing to hear bad news.

I don't feel anything when I hear about mass shootings, It is so common these days to hear about all the crime in America I honestly dont care. Yeah i know that makes me sound like a cold heartless human, I still dont care. I dont live in a fantasy world I live in reality. And the reality is this.

I dont know these people, I cant possibly get emotionally upset over every single killing or death around the globe, I do well to keep with deaths in my own small community.

I cant explain why killings around the globe don't affect me. I do well to have empathy for people I know, to extend that empathy to people I don't means I would be constantly upset, given the fact people in America alone die every second of every day.

I do feel horrible and sad when it is child related, but to be honest I stopped keeping up with news from outside of my own Country. I am of no help + there is absolutely nothing I can say or do to make things better, so therefore I totally ignore it and have a peaceful day.

Death for me is interesting, I'm a bit morbid also. I'm not afraid to die, and I wouldn't be sad or go crazy if I was told I had a short time to live. I enjoyed my life tis far and feel grateful for everyday I have to spend alive. What I know for a fact is I wouldn't be missing out on anything if I died tonight. The world is a total mess, and will only get worse. The future doesn't sound Interesting or exciting, the best part of my living years has already passed, and I'm Soooooo happy I got to live in the 70 80 and 90s, every year since has gone down hill. Technology has ruined our kids, and mostly any type of real intimacy. Knowing I had the chance to experience real relationships in real time is so great, so again if I died tonight I am full, happy.

I seriously don't care what is happening outside of my bubble, I'm not or ever was responsible for what happens in other Countries, I do well to take care of myself and those I love, the rest is out of my control so I dont think about it or feel anything but peace in my surroundings.

News can be very upsetting. If they bother you too much, I think you made a wise decision.

the news (most of the time) is always the same- and I honestly can't stand it

I get emails from various newspapers (I think mainly to try and show an interest in the world), but 90 percent of it is like you say... death, or government, etc etc

but I love when you get the email and see a headline which makes you think... wow, their are good people in the world

you don't get it often, but you do get them

don't watch the news though- despite having a news channel come free with my tv subscription
