Not watching news TV
abstaining from news television offers an astounding alternative lifestyle, away from the relentless barrage of headlines and pounding of updates. The pleasures of not being spoon-fed what passes as news are to be tasted to believe.
Disconnecting from news TV hardly means becoming ignorant of the world — one soaks in more from newspapers, where events and happenings are presented in a manner akin to a laid out table for you to pick and choose, rather than the high-speed sushi conveyor belt that force-feeds you regardless of your interests, tastes or appetite.
Constant exposure to sensationalised news stories can induce anxiety and stress. Therefore, it stands to obvious reason that avoiding such broadcasts allows for a sense of calm to prevail. This respite enables you to focus, to tastefully divide wheat from the chaff — to choose. It encourages you to be, well, intelligent.
News TV abstinence promotes a healthier perspective on the world, correcting amplification, especially of negative and sensational news that skews perceptions. By bypassing these broadcasts, you can engage with the world through a clearer, calmer window.
