I've tried making this point to my father, with little success. He is someone who very clearly struggles with anxiety, and has an incredibly unhealthy news consumption habit -- its news on the radio on the way to work, lots of newspaper reading at work (he runs his own small business), followed by constant cable news in the evening. He can't turn it off. As best I can tell, he struggles to consume longer form (especially written content), and I don't know that he'd be able to tell me the name of the last book he's read. He's an incredibly intelligent man, but I can't help but feel he's doing himself a huge disservice with his habit. But, alas, I am always met with "but I need to be informed" retort, despite my many objections to it. Anyone experience something similar with their parents and have any advice?
