I know this is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay and I say this with total sincerity because I take it issue seriously -- CNN and MSNBC is bad for your mental health. Joy Reid, Brian Stelter, Jim Acosta, Brianna Keilar, Chris Hayes, etc. WANT you to be in a mentally-crippled state.
If you're scared for your life, hiding under your bed, afraid to go outside, and thus struggling with your mental faculties, then CNN and MSNBC will see their job as successful.
They talk about Trump as the ultimate fear-mongerer, but every story casting doubt on the vaccine, suggesting Trump doesn't care about you, six feet might not be enough for social distancing, the mere act of going outside could kill you, it's all meant to cripple you in fear.
To be clear, I'm not saying they lead to suicide. Not at all. The reason I raise is because of how damaging they can be to your psyche and, to be clear, they may do a story here or there about mental health in this pandemic, they'd do their jobs differently if they cared.
People are talking about mental health today with it being #WorldSuicidePreventionDay so I'm throwing my two cents in through the lens of my job.
