As much as I dislike Trump, I will concede that his points on modern media have much accuracy. Of course, he goes too far and threatens the free press, but so much modern news (both left and right leaning) is blatantly biased, it is enraging. CNN and Foxnews are about equally god awful.
I've always been impressed by this forum's adherence to an MMM tenet: not giving much attention to the media. But I will admit that I spend too much reading the news. I browse both liberal and conservative news, trying to get the full picture, but usually just getting frustrated with how ridiculous each side. It ends up being a waste of valuable time... and a bad habit frankly.
My question is: how many of you have stopped following the news, and has it been for the better?
I am considering doing this, though am concerned about losing touch with the world. A mild moderate news source for occasional updates might be the half-way point... if I can control myself.
