Reply To: Rebbetzin Esther Baila Schwartz says bad news can be harmful to your health

Ferd, whether you agree or not, when someone hears scary news, constantly, it affects them negatively and most of the time they cant help the situation, other than saying Tehillim, which they can do without hearing bad news non-stop. Many of us have become news junkies/addicts since the popularity of the internet. I think she has a point. How can we be thankful to the RS”O, and function well and happily in our lives, when we’re constantly bombarded with news of wars, death, terrorism, scandals, etc. and the focus becomes whats wrong with the world, rather than whats right. They dont report the good stuff. Thats boring.
