The News

Why are some drawn to the news and others largely ignore it?

News is a profitable business and the currency is attention that's sold to the highest bidder.  

If you don’t watch it you might miss something.  You might not know about the bad thing that happened somewhere else.  You might fall behind as the corrupt story unfolds.

Ignoring the news is a bad idea.  

Ignoring most news is a good idea.  

What is happening in a crooked man’s trial is attention getting, interesting, and a total waste of attention.  Attention that is likely better placed in your own house and business.

If you’re frustrated by the news don’t forget…your attention is your asset.  Be careful what you give it to.

Pro Tip: Find a news junkie who can summarize the high points in 30 seconds instead of wading through it yourself.
