Not much news or journalism. It's been that way for a long time. Thoreau talked about it long ago. Whitman & Emerson too.

Getting outside, experiencing nature, maybe talking with people with an open heart can be a decent antidote. That and reading history in books.

I think one can sift through and find some good stuff. BBC News, NPR, The Guardian, The New York Times. I'm always interested in what other sources people enjoy for positive news.
