What a privilege, what a luxury, to be able to turn a blind eye to all the injustice that's currently happening in the world...

Sure, do what you want, ignore news if that makes you feel better, but do realise for many, they are not afforded this kind of luxury.

I hear you, but spending an hour to research every name on the ballot come election time will make you better informed than most people.

If you want to do more, you can find some protests to participate in. Or do something other than protest like clean a local park or feed hungry people.

If I spend 3 hours on a random Tuesday consuming the news, that doesn't help anyone. It does the opposite; it makes me less able to focus, and makes me have less personal power and discipline to affect change in the world.
