Yes! I worked in the media for 13 years and came to a point about ten years ago that I was inundated daily with everything that was going wrong in the world. Surely there was good news that could be reported? But it wasn't. On top of that, I found myself being highly suspicious and judgmental of everyone. Like you, I broke away from reading/watching/listening to the "news" because it wasn't serving my higher good. As of now, I have very little idea of what's going on in the world as far as "the news" is concerned and prefer it that way to keep my energy clear and hold space for the light to flow more freely.
