Its all about balance I think.
As mature people yes there are certain things that can affect us that we need to know.
Nothing is good or bad till thinking makes it so.
News, of it self, is just news but dwelling on it and keeping rumor going with out a shred of proof is of the ego. Ie Im the one that know listen to me. if its true and there is real evidence to support what you are saying then thats entirely different in my opinion. Thats a service to humanity.
Speaking of which, the link is to Dr David Hawkins publishers web site,
He had the largest psychiatric practice in the USA at one time.
His book "Power vs Force" is amazing.

Have a look at the "about" on the web pages.
He has done a lot for humanity.
