But *having* access and actually accessing it are different things. I've worked from a home office since 1992, and I think I can say that I literally have never accessed the news, other than in August 1992 to watch the progress of my namesake hurricane.

I've had March Madness running in the background (before the NCAA became dead to me), and every April I configure 2 of my 3 monitors to stream The Masters; ditto The Open and the Ryder Cup, etc., all during work hours- so I do run the boob tube and equivalents, but for entertainment, not news. Otherwise, Alexa is playing music.

Resist the urge!

100% agree. I should amend my statement to read that boundaries are the key to happiness but a hard stop on mainstream news is a requirement!

Also, configuring multiple monitors to watch golf majors. That's key, too...
