Hit Pause on Negative Media

Please We Need a Break From Negative Media It's Too Much

We’re all feeling it—the emotional exhaustion from endless political conflict. It’s time to consider a moratorium on negative political coverage. Imagine four years of peace, where we shift our focus from division to unity, from drama to truth. Please do not spin this against Republicans or Democrats. I am tired of the spin.

The media thrives on conflict, but we can demand better. We need constructive, solution-based reporting that highlights our shared values. It’s up to us—individuals, communities, and media outlets—to advocate for healthier narratives. Let’s pause the animosity and misinformation. We deserve a break from the negativity. Together, we can create a space for healing and reflection. Let’s make this call for peace a reality.

Further my call for a moratorium on negative political coverage reflects a desire for a healing period, and it's understandable that many feel emotionally drained from constant political conflict. The idea of a "four years of peace" is a powerful reminder of the need for time to focus on unity, truth, and well-being, rather than division.

While the media plays a significant role in shaping public discourse, achieving such a moratorium would be difficult without broad systemic changes. The news cycle often thrives on conflict and drama, especially in the political arena, and both positive and negative coverage can be equally sensationalized. However, the need for balance and responsible journalism is more important than ever.

Public support for more constructive, solution-based reporting and a focus on shared values could help shift the tone of political coverage over time. It may also be up to individuals, communities, and media outlets to demand that healthier, more compassionate narratives take center stage. But in an era of fierce polarization, it would take collective effort to create a true pause for reflection and healing.

My request to all media and to all living in the USA is no more bashing politicians, no more politicians bashing other politicians, no more negative coverage, no more animus, no more misinformation. May we have a moratorium on negative coverage four years of peace? Emotionally Americans are emotionally spent and we need a break. The preceding years of negative reporting has affected the mental health of Americans of all socioeconomic status and will only become worse.
