Do you think it's better to say up on the news or to ignore it all?

Ignore the small stuff. Anything that seems like it might effect you learn what you can from as many different sources as you can to get a better chance at the truth.

The news, like all forms of entertainment and other distractions, rely primarily on the number of viewers. They care little for the truth if it's not eye catching.

Ive been very selective with what I let in. No TV. No news. I just listen to people, hear different sides. Im researching a lot now with the movements we're making because finally. Media has been mostly crap.

I just watch it and get pissed

I think it's a good plan to know the high level, top stuff. but it's easy to get bogged down in.

To observe the woods from the outside, but not to get lost inside them..

I stay up with it but I don't think it matters much either way.

I ignore it. Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was...

News is no longer news so just ignore that nonsense.

Eh, I think having a cursory knowledge of what's going on is probably good, although you have to be careful about that too, because misinformation is everywhere.
That being said, I don't think it's wise to constantly inundate yourself with up-to-date news. Not good for your psyche IMO.

Everything we consume on social media and the media and mainstream politics is designed to keep you blind from the truth of what is happening in our world.
