I agree here about the news.

Anecdata: my Dad, who is in his 70s, was doing an awful lot of basically doomscrolling his news feed and just reading headlines like, all day. He was cranky, irritable, and just plain getting meaner. My Mom had a talk with him and got him to dial that way back and he's definitely got a better attitude now. He's replaced that with some games and actual reading of dead trees (thanks, Bathroom Reader)
