Viewing the news can have a major impact on the way we think and behave. People in general are more likely to view news covering negative topics like terrorist attacks or natural disasters. Due to this, media outlets are a lot more likely to make news that covers these more negative and pessimistic topics. All of the exposure people have to these negative sources of news can often lead to a lot of fear and misinformation among the general public. This can affect the way people live and approach life as a whole, usually with a more pessimistic and negative outlook.
I completely agree that the news changes the way we think and behave. In modern society, the news is almost inescapable and gets shared to almost everyone one way or another. At this point, it's probably less likely that the news doesn't have an impact on the way somebody thinks or behaves. As said in the article, people are a lot more likely to be interested in news covering negative topics rather than ones with a more optimistic view. And if we all spend a large portion of our day just soaking in all this negative information, it's bound to impact the way we think and behave. Generally for the worse because the news instills a pessimistic outlook into the vast majority of its viewers.
