I consumed more news in 2020 than at any other time in my life, and I really need to work at getting myself back onto my low news diet. As far as Harry and Megan are concerned, there are stories about them all over my various online newsfeeds and I cannot fathom why anyone would even care about them. I am as little interested in them as I am in football, and there is no lower bar to sink beneath in Rosaland.
Now that I am driving my son's car, which does not have a radio, I have gotten used to no news, no music, no noise during my commute. It is kind of nice. On the other hand I do talk to myself more than I used to.
I love just about every comment on this thread...I do watch PBS/BBC News hour sometimes...otherwise I'm on a news diet after swallowing too much during the reign of the Orange Thing...
Following local news is much better for my brain--no mass murders in our little town so far...
peaceful, easy feeling
I am driving a car with a radio again, but usually just catch the headlines. I have cut back on the Sunday morning news shows also. Without the horse race of an election year it's just not that interesting. Plus the guy I used to debate with at work was moved to another part of the building.
I'm not watching much national news either. Back to scanning print/online news. Much better than same old stuff discussed ad nauseam.

There is very little going on on a national level (honestly not much going on here on a non-national level either). Covid is declining of course. But in terms of non-covid news the government is pretty much MIA as it's hopelessly gridlocked. So there isn't that much news.
Trees don't grow on money
I'm basically catching headlines when I'm online and only reading the article when it is of interest. Normally I don't read them as the advertising and the way they write them, it takes forever to get to the point! I have managed, however, to get our free local paper the last couple of weeks and it is nice to have a physical newspaper to read again - even if very, very thing.
