Now that COVID is but a distant memory (we hope!), what are most of us avoiding like the plague these days?
If you guessed the news (mainstream or otherwise), you would be correct.
According to Reuters Institude For The Study Of Journalism, an Oxford-based think tank that surveys people around the globe regarding their news-consumption habits, interest in news is at an all-time low.
Surprised? Neither were we.
Researchers contend "news avoidance" is a response to information overload, where news--the good, the bad, and the ugly--is constantly bombarding us from every direction, day and night, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
We have to admit, they have a point.
As Paul Farhi, from the Washington Post says,
"Digital media has made news ubiquitous and instantly available from thousands of sources representing every ideology, geography and language.
"And much of it, people say, drives feelings of depression, anger, anxiety or helplessness."
This may also hold a grain of truth.
But we believe the main reason for news avoidance is because we don't believe a word they say.
That's right, gang. The news business has no credibility--as in Zero--and they don't even bother to feign objectivity anymore.
The mainstream media have completely betrayed the trust of the American people, and according to the Reuters Institute survey, few in the rest of the world believe them either.
A wise man once said: "Trust is hard won, and easily lost. Trust is won through diligence and integrity. It is won when a person or an institution consistently tells the truth. But the glue of trust weakens with every lie. A bit of it dies with every dishonest deed." -- Hal Lindsey, author
"And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free"(JOHN 8:32).
"Jesus answered, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me'" (JOHN 14:6).
