I guess the question is:
Are events happening too fast or are we being inundated with “Updates” so quickly,
we can’t process what is actually happening ?
You have access to all kinds of information in a heartbeat, which has Pros and Cons.
You’re informed, but are understanding what happened ?
How many of these headlines changed dramatically within 24 hrs.?
In the news biz, fast is first, for the win.
And speed is more important than accuracy.
Fix the facts later.(Maybe.)
Trust me, I’ve seen it from the inside.
And it was frustrating watching little A**holes
crafting a narrative, to make a story “Sound Better”.
News has become more entertainment, than information.
When you’re only hearing half the story because the next crisis is already inbound,
you don’t see the whole picture and it can skew your perception.
This also is by design to keep people off balance.
Control by fear.
So, Stop Doom Scrolling.
Be aware of your surroundings, and do what you can.
But don’t get sucked into what you can’t control.
This Life is Short.
Help Others, Help Yourself, Be Happy.
Just Sayin’.
