If the world have to become accustom to this kind of things, it will be sad

Thanks for your information .i like this post

You said it brother. crazy time is the new normal.  same blood spilling like in genghis and them other butchers time. day

It's been almost two years now since I've watched TV. It has helped a tad. However unless we are prepared to go find a cave somewhere we will never escape the violence or the news of it but then should we? If we are not aware of it, could we become so complacent that we would let our awareness and guard down, thereby placing ourselves in more danger?
It is certainly a conundrum................billytwohearts

At my house we got rid of our TV in 2002. I have not had a TV in the house since then. If I read the news its just on the phone. (Still full of crap) I am on the same page as you.

nice post

I cut the cord about a year ago, I picked up a Leaf antenna but it doesn't work so I'm pretty out of the loop with news. I used to check DrudgeReport daily more for tabloid style news, and also I think regardless of if you love them or hate them they are awesome at writing click baity type titles which really drive traffic so I think we can learn a lot from them as markters. A site that's not mobile optimized and looks like it was made with that netscape builder but which does 6 mill plus views per day is pretty incredible.

I've gotten way off topic though, I agree with you the news only brings you down and now that we are living in a 24 hour news cycle everything is magnified. While there's probably not any more bad stuff happening today than at other times its shoved down our throats through 24 hour news networks. our phones, yahoo homepage, etc. 

I try to avoid the news and politics as it only brings me down and depresses me. I have guns and dogs so if some apocolypse comes and I'm not kept abreast by the news so be I'll be aaaight lol. 

Seriously though, I subscribe to targeted reddit groups so I get news on business and marketing and stocks and cryptos, the rest of the news I don't really need nor do I really care for.

Another post a bit off topic but after the recent church shooting I heard father flagger out of Chicago who's a big anti gun guy say we don't need more guns we need a kinder nicer society. While that may be true and while I do try to improve my community and help people, let's be honest, there's a lot of shitty people out there and a lot of shitty parents who are raising future shitty kids, many people lack empathy just look at people who get beatup in public or raped in public and nobody steps in to help, look at teens playing knockout games knocking out old people with no empathy and no mercy, watch worldstarthiphop fight videos and watch people getting jumped. We live in a mean world and it's not getting any nicer, have a gun and be able to take care of yourself as you can't control the world around you and despite your best efforts you alone can't change it and even worse if your dead you definately can't change it so people need to learn to protect themselves and be aware of their surroundings. I probably sound kinda goofy or like a crazy person but I'm actually super laid back and don't really sweat stuff like this because I know I'm prepared should something happen so there's really not any need to worry. Crazy world we live in

I usually only hear about all these fake stories on Steemit - the news is just propaganda to make people believe that any of this is real. 
But it's easy enough to avoid it.
