so when every news in media seems like conflict between everyone,
how to stay calm, feels pointless in meditating if you get emotional as soon as you look at the news
a few tricks are conceptual understanding of conflicts
and strategic reasoning about conflicts
these tricks activates logic in the brain instead of emotions
news in media can make a trivial political conflict seem massive
and news media forces you to pick a side in trivial conflict by supporting one side so that if you disagree just a little bit, you will be provoked by news media until you are forced to look at a different news media outlet, often with a opposite view of the conflict
and after a while, you feel something is missing, then maybe you start looking at blogs, youtube and other social media
and the process repeats itself
