Dear news media, not every day has to be 9/11. Not every single story you tell has to be a world-ending event that requires our full attention.  
At this point, I'm starting to believe that the whole purpose of the news media was never about being informed. It's about being as miserable, angry, and hopeless as humanly possible. And if you don't conform, everyone looks at you, like you're the bad guy. As if you're one who started this pandemic; as if your name is Derek Chauvin; as if 9/11 was your idea; as if you organized the riots on the 6th.  
Why won't you admit that you're doing this purely for financial gain even if it means destroying the mental health of the general public? I don't care if 9/11 happened today or if WWIII broke out today or if a second wave of rioters storms the Capitol building. I don't want to know about it.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
