24-7 media bombardment. They want/need you to be distressed. The world has always been a pretty horrific place. Unplug for a bit.

Good advice. I always feel better when I get away from internet and phones for 3 or 4 days and I find it only takes me about 15 minutes to catch up (kinda like a soap opera).

Television is by nature the dominator drug par excellence. Control of content, uniformity of content, repeatability of content make it inevitably a tool of coersion, brainwashing, and manipulation.

Good post

I do not blame natural disasters on Gods wrath

One can blame our moral decay and the sickness that causes on our straying

No doubt of that

Not to detract from the position of the OP, I’ve always thought that nature is cruel and that there wasn’t a great deal of publicity for the really ugly human behaviors. Perhaps the Creator has allowed the 24/7 bombardment for other reasons.

Yep.

All propaganda all the time.
