Worried about my dad. He spends hours every day watching/reading news, but only sites that support his point of view. When he’s not consuming news, he’s railing loudly against politicians he doesn’t like or people who are on “the other side”, completely distorting basic facts. It almost seems like he’s slowly losing his grip of reality. This is all he does in his free time, he has no interest or motivation to pursue any hobbies or other activities.
