    on one hand, I wish I wouldn’t have to read those headlines because it depresses me

    on the other hands, there’s no point in muting that information, because people should know those things and should be angry

    I thought “we should read good news”, and then /r/upliftingnews appeared and it was just a rose-colored glasses thing.

    we actually need to hear bad news to make people react.

      I want to hear good news when we actually fix things. I don’t want to ignore bad news or to have news mischaracterized as good.
