I am 100% with you on this, Lynn. I, too, limit my news intake and have stopped watching violent movies and TV shows. I also left Facebook and never was on Twitter or other sites. Medium is it for me.
My husband watches a lot more news than I do. I may take a look and listen for a few minutes, then I'm out of the room or busy with my headphones on, listening to music or a book.
We have to take control of our media diet just as surely as we have to take control of our food diet.
