I absolutely agree with the "news" person until half way.

Reporting what has happened isn't toxic it's news. That's their entire job.

Getting stuck on repeat about the same thing, might be toxic though. Since it's no longer news.

Another thing is the "experts on both sides". This is a poison of the mind, to believe that right and left wing politics are both equally valid and correct. Most of the time the science agrees with the left.
