New Zealand’s news avoidance rates are higher than in any other surveyed country. Mood, political orientation and perceptions of sensationalism or bias all play a role.

Having zero influence over the despots, billionaires, populists and suck up media out there who are fact free and inflicting immeasurable harm on others does get depressing if you don't switch it off for a day or two sometimes
