fookyeahconradveidt replied to your post: Any particular reason why? I know there are plenty, incl. avoidance of information overload &/or constant stream of negativity, but what are your reasons, if you would care to share them?
The constant stream of negativity is it. Every time I read the news (especially pieces on the UK coalition's neverending attack on the disabled), I ended up feeling furious, scared, depressed, and totally helpless. There's not much I can do about these things besides sign petitions and vote for another set of fuckers to be in charge in a few years, so I need some time away from the news to regain a bit of peace of mind.
