Do you keep up with current news?

[FoxSauce]

I rather not.


It's simple really, I rather be as oblivious as possible.

Too much negativity who ended who, A major bad thing happened over there. Man accused of said charge.

I get way to anxious mentally and physically basically thinking that I could be next so it's a big nope and keeps me somewhat sane (even tho I think I'm not)

I'm somewhat compelled to be current on news for my work; I cross reference information, all the usual sources.
It's actually not all bad but it seems that mainstream media and certainly internet sources are trying to grab market share through exciting content... things like the Panama canal drying up aren't on their radar, but is on mine.

Yeah, almost every time I visit my parents they have the telly on and watch the news and I am very annoyed about it. Sometimes they have to do it twice or even thrice the day... And that's something I honestly don't understand because they report the exact same things of which they already are aware of. They also share some news articles with me very often that I am not interested about but think I care and read.

exactly my thoughts, they report the exact same things on the news, here it's all about the war and they don't report anything else, it gets so tiresome

For me i keep up with the news most of the times.

Eh, sort of. I keep up with US news, while completely ignoring the news of my own country. I hate where I live, reading US news exclusively gives me the illusion of living in a better place.

Where do you get your news from? The news here just reminds me how shit this country really is lol.

USA Today, The Guardian and Reuters. I follow a few political commentators on YouTube (nothing to write home about... keeps me busy though).
I prefer your country's problems to those of mine haha. They feel somewhat more "fixable"

 

[manicstreetbeeper]

i don't care about politics as much as i used to even though i probably should. the only way i would get myself to care more about current events is having a partner, close friend, or romantic interest who was.

 

[sick.faery]

yea regularly

 

[Raven2]

I never used to but I do read the news daily but I think it's all so depressing. So much crime happening everywhere.

At the moment, I mostly read them to kill time when I don't read anything here, except for the recent elections, of course. Sometimes I feel like I'm quite informed, but then others often seem to have much more background knowledge than me and I feel like I'm missing something.
