Lets not pretend that the current news media is any different. There is no objective fact reporting, only fear mongering.

What motivates you to reply that, when you know it isn't true? There's been news media for more than a century now, and it is not known to cause addiction and depression in teenagers.

"When you know it isn't true".

Really?

Teenagers are addicted to social media and adults get addicted to news media.

Both are based on fear mongering and the fear of missing out. Do you not see that underneath the problem is the same?

The "news" aspect is probably the most harmless part about social media.
