Anyone ever wonder what the mental effects are of constant negative news? ?

    Yes, people have, people still do, and the subject has been investigated fairly extensively by social scientists and statisticians.  Negative news leads to negative world views, pessimism rather than optimism, in its most simplistically direct fashion. A lot more can result, though.

    Yes, and I'm sure it's not good.
