If your mood is improved, to the degree that someone comments on it, by reducing general news media consumption, you’re not in control of your emotions to a degree an adult should be in control of their emotions, and should seek professional help to regain that control.
The fact that you believe I’ve called anyone a name or insulted anyone by saying that is a good example of what I’m talking about, as I did no such thing.
Even in this convo you’re struggling to not get emotional; that’s not great! You don’t have to live like that. Don’t avoid therapy to spite a random person on the Internet… at least consider it.
If, for example, I took the three hours a week I dedicate to news consumption and gave that time to my wife, and if I have fewer worries and distractions, of course I would be more pleasant to be around. You give some more of your time and attention and they'll think you're more pleasant too.
No need to call names or be rude, maybe your media consumption is detrimental to your wellbeing :)
