‘I can’t cope with it any more’: newsrooms scramble to retain audiences amid the big switch-off (www.theguardian.com)
 

“I used to have the news on the TV every morning for an hour or so as I got the children ready for school and completed my household tasks,” he said. “Now it has literally been switched off and unplugged. I can’t cope with it any more. It’s just too much and there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Though he dips into his favourite news apps occasionally in the evening, he now strictly limits his news consumption. He’s not alone. The Guardian has been contacted by a series of one-time news junkies who are now seeking to restrict their news intake after suffering from disturbed sleep or a downturn in their mood.

While being locked up and deprived of freedoms. Death is preferable to life in prison.

It costs more because of expenses around ensuring you have the right person and giving them a chance to appeal. That’s not needed here.

There’s nothing cruel about it. Cruel would be locking him up for years if anything.

There is no material reason to keep him alive in light of what he has done.

Sentence him and end him, let the next wannabe mass murderer know what fate awaits them.

The barbaric act of crimes against humanity? There is zero doubt as to his guilt and role in causing said deaths.

There is no benefit to attempting reform, there is no risk he isn’t the right offender, and there is no benefit to paying to keep him detained.

For some crimes, death is fine. As it was for Mussolini.

But they’re not. Go to any news site, the majority of content is negative news. That’s the norm.
