I haven't watched the news since I spent the whole first week after September 11 with the tv on 24 hours a day. I was so fearful that I would wake up to a new world...I was afraid I'd miss something.
Now, I don't watch the news at all unless I catch a glimpse of it when someone else has it on. I have enough negativity without it! I read news online sometimes, but I've gotten away from even doing that much. I agree with what Steve said in one of his articles: if it's a natural disaster that affects me, I'm sure to know about it soon enough and if it's so important as to need my attention, someone will inform me of it no doubt. Of course that's not a direct quote, but you get the idea.
I definitely think that it matters what you input into your mind. The less negativity the better.
