Since the Palestine/Israel conflict began, I've stopped reading the news (I don't watch TV or listen to the radio, anyway).
This is to protect my mental health as my responses to the various conflicts in the world tend to either be anger or distress.
I've never done this before but for several decades of my life news wasn't so readily available.
The internet changed all that.
I don't know how long I will be able to isolate myself in this way, but I had become rather addicted to the BBC news website, constantly updating it to see the latest.
Does this resonate with anyone?
I stopped with media / tv / fake news, years ago. Its all designed to provoke reactions, troll people, and manipulate how we feel
Hello Nemesis2k7, I am Number.
May I just ask, do you still use social media (insta, FB or X type things) and/or email..... and if so, are you still not bombarded with "news" from those sources ?
I only ask this question because I am interested - not nosey, and certainly not judgemental about it, one way nor the other.
