Burying your head in the sand is a great way to be be caught with your pants down when SHTF happens. Its always better to be informed, you just need to learn how to acquire that information from reliable sources.
“If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you’re mis-informed.” – Mark Twain.
That being said, the bad news is to a large extent an endless stream of poisonous shit that you can do nothing about.
Seems very accurate for Croatia. An alarming number of people parrot information they got from their aunt on Facebook and conspiracy theories run rampant. It works really well on gullible people.
News in Bulgaria suck most of the time. I dont watch them either so I am a part of that 0.00001%
The percentage of disenchanted citizens
most of my news these days is just the wikipedia current events page with a few google news alerts for specific keywords
A well-informed citizen who’s able to accurately judge their own knowledge of things is a good thing for any country to have.
Someone who buries their head in the sand, on the other hand, is not.
I try to but can’t. Apart from being at work I check the news every few hours.
I’m aware of most things that are going on but I avoid tv news and newspapers in the uk like the plague. It’s just depressing, people who actually watch more than 10 mins of news are crazy to me
I guess Reddit helps
Local news in the US is fine like CBS NY etc. it’s the nationwide news like CNN, Fox, Huff Post, Breitbart that are the problem. They are all doom and gloom despite many positive things happening.
