Seriously, how do I deal with it?

I know what you mean. I found that I had to pretty much stop watching the news and reading the front page of the newspaper. Too depressing. Some people can handle it and some can't. I prefer not to subject myself to it. I hear enough about it from other people to know what's going on. I just don't subject myself to it on a daily basis. I do keep informed and do watch and read about this particular stuff periodically. This is how I deal with it, maybe it will help you, too. And it's not just about what's going on overseas. It's also all the bad stuff going on in our own country. We can't even seem to be able to get along with each other. I try to help people I know and be nice to everyone. Everyone has problems and you never know what a difference you can make by helping other people. Just saying hello and a smile can make a difference to people you may encounter along the way. Everybody has something. Maybe if you can make a difference in your own world, things won't seem so bad and you can feel good about what you are doing to help those you can and not dwell on the bigger picture that you really can't do anything about. I wish you luck.

I can give you no other advice but to try out another channel. You might discover that you like other shows on other channels. You might even find out that you like stand up comedy, which will definitely take your mind off of violence. See what else is out there.

Don't watch the news. Watch TV Land for old comedies, or TCM for old movies.
