Donna Genie (speaker) explains she stopped watching the news around the time of Covid because it makes her angry and she believes it has become sensationalized, biased, and often untrue—comparing modern news to the National Enquirer and labeling it clickbait. She advises especially business owners to stop consuming this news, focus on their own reality, and avoid being influenced by sensationalized media.

A while back, hardly somewhere near. Covid, I gave up on the news. It makes me mad, so I just don't watch it. And I think in our society today, so much happens from the news that is unintended. It separates us as people. It gives us bad advice. I'm going to tell you, the news is not what it used to be, and this is no surprise to you. You know it. The news is about like the National Enquirer was 10, 15 years ago. It's just clickbait. Every day there's a new headline that has to be sensationalized to make sure people tune in. Because how does the news make money on advertising? It's slanted in every direction. It's biased, and it's fake. In a lot of cases, I've seen so much on the news that I don't believe it anymore because I know things are not true. So I suggest if you're a business owner, you're already stressed on time, you got a lot of stresses of your own. Shut off that news and don't worry about your business. Live in your own reality and take care of your own news.
