It is hard not to and wheny husband decided that there would be no TV, YouTube or news via browser searches I was not convinced it was a good plan,
at the time his mother and grandmother lived with us but in a different house, obviously they were allowed to watch TV and the news, after a year or so I did notice the difference between the moods in the two houses, we were happy and life was good, they were almost depressed and convinced you couldn't go outside because of riots and Muslim terrorists, it was 2011 in the UK and the news was grim but life wasn't.
that moment was an epiphany for me and now I'm totally on board with the no current news and only reading the facts a month later.

@goldenorchid interesting results you found out about the 2 houses and i remember that stuff in the UK too , you'd think the Muslims were taking over London

@FurryFace they honestly thought we couldn't go shopping because of it, we're 10 miles from the nearest town but well over 30 miles from London.
