I POSTED RECENTLY ABOUT TAKING A BREAK from watching the news. I’d become a news junkie. The news pissed me off. It was disturbing, upsetting, inexplicable. So, I quit cold turkey. It didn’t go well. Before very long, I got jittery. My hands didn’t shake, but I think I began blinking more often. It was eye flutter as a symptom of feeling uninformed. I found that I couldn’t stand not knowing what was going on. There was no medication that I could take to relax the constricting blood vessels in my forehead when I looked at my watch and realized that it was time for my favorite news show. When I tried to concentrate on a good book, I was having a hard time focusing. My quitting the news was causing severe withdrawal pains. Is there a Betty Ford Center for news junkies? The moratorium lasted one week. I’m back looking at the news now, employing the same profane reaction as before, cursing the fear mongering, hating the polarization, marveling at the stupidity and the hypocrisy. America’s dysfunctional democracy on full, obscene display. That’s news! The eye flutter has now given way to the usual nausea.
