It is important to have an educated and informed citizenry.Growing up in a third world country, I can’t understand why Americans love politics. Why it is so easy to box Americans in 2 boxes: you either support one issue or you against it. I guess cable news make a ton of money?I stopped consuming news and political content entirely. It felt akin to detoxing from a substance and getting "sober". Ignorance truly is bliss.
But good for you to don’t care about political content.
But it is possible to over do it, and that is not good for one’s mental health. Personally, I stopped watching cable news and quit social media.
But I continue to read the news from high-quality newspapers in moderation. Reading a well-written and carefully-vetted analysis is far less stressful, and leads to improved understanding of the topic at hand, than watching something unfold in real time with limited information.
