Burnt out on all the bad news

I have to agree with you on the in your face news coverage now, it gets tiresome at times. Even the hurricane coverage with some person standing in strong winds in a rain coat is old news.

What worries me the most is the lack of care I see from people around me about world events because of this. At work the fact that 400,000 people died in natural disasters seems to only be a “did you hear” and on we go. Grant it we can’t dwell on things and must continue with life, but sheesh.
