Can't cope with news anymore

Is anyone else feeling the same? I used to want to keep informed but now I am just starting to switch off. Have some stressful family stuff going on as well and it is just too much.

Yes I’m the same, after having watched it pretty much all day every day since March (WFH), I’m now weaning myself off it and feel much happier for it.

I refuse to watch or listen to the News since August, feeling so much calmer and happier. Yes MSM, Sky, BBC etc. you carry on with your hysteria, nation bashing, dramatising of victimhood and hyperboles...whilst NOT reporting on stuff that your should be reporting on...people are not interested anymore.

Even Radio 6 music blathers on and has it on every half an hour, which is my escape station...

This exactly, stopped watching a few months back and it's wonderful

That's the think, it is so dramatic and sometimes not even factual, BBC in particular is like it thinks we are daft and is so patronising as well as doom mongering. It never shows anything good or positive, and there are silver linings and people trying to make the best of things.
