Yes, and no.
It can be depressing but I like and need to be informed about what is going on in the world, especially local news, I'm a parent of 3 teenagers and I need to know if there's a danger that may effect them, I also need to be able to talk with them about global news and events so that they aren't sheltered as to the way of the world.
A lot of news, I choose to drown out and don't pay full attention to. For example I am bored of the Harry and Meghan narrative and fed up with them being picked on by literally everyone in the media, they can't do right for doing wrong😣
