To be honest, I think it does and that it often makes things worse. When people post a cynical news story and you go to the comment sections to find even greater cynicism, it creates an environment where people allow themselves to wallow in negativity.I disagree that the emotional nature of the news matters.

I think there's a lot to this. So much of the positivity in my life is physical. That is, at a certain point words become kind of meaningless in terms of making you feel better and it's a smile or a hug or going to do something else that really turns your mood around. Without that physical feedback you can kind of get sucked down that spiral more easily.
