Do you feel you have outgrown media sources or discontinued them for other reasons?

    This one hits home, but because it feels like I’ve lost my parent to the 24 hour news cycle. They also had motorcycle accident around a decade ago that might have caused some brain damage. If there was damage, it was never formally identified by a medical professional.

    I’ve watched them become more angry at and scared of the world as they grow older. I don’t fully agree with their beliefs on various topics, but always try to listen and understand why they feel the way they do.

    It’s so frustrating to watch someone you care about ruin themselves trying to stay “informed” while surrounding themselves with others that contribute to confirmation bias.
