I do at least 2-3 hours a day and it's beginning to feel like a crack addiction.
I am also realizing I get mad at the news so much, but at the end of the day if I don't use this information for some sort of praxis, what is even the point of just regularly getting mad?
Isn't it nice not having to check the news every day to see what the Cheeto did now?!
In all seriousness, I have been reading the news less. But for the exact opposite reason. It still makes me angry but I know there's nothing I can do about it. I keep up to date on things through twitter and other random headlines, but I don't stay glued to it like I used to. It's definitely not healthy to overdue it. It trains your brain in some weird ways. Everyone I know who's either an absolute brainwashed lib or conservative watches several hours of news media that confirms their biases every day.
