"She had come to view the morning news as a toxic way to start the day, one that disposed viewers toward fear and distrust."
"Don’t start your day with the news,” Folsom said. “Because while you think it’s helping you be a better person, it’s actually killing you.”
"Folsom said her moment of epiphany occurred around 2021, when three things happened. A person close to her had a mental breakdown; she began reading writers on spirituality, like Alan Watts; and she stopped personally consuming the news in the morning, other than what she had to read for work. Starting her day without the news, she said, “f—ing changed my life.” She said moved through her days with a different, more positive outlook."
