TL:DR - Everything is wrong with today's media. But you always have the choice to reject toxic media as the customer. Now's the time to use it.

Open a search for the term toxic masculinity and take a look at all the results. Make a search result for any celebrity name you know and look at the websites sponsoring them. If you want to go deeper, go to news reports of those ISIS women who now want to come back to their countries thinking that sorry and tears will give them a pussy pass and a karma houdini - take a look at all those SJWs and other supporters trying desperately to hate the governments who want to punish the guilty.

There's a big list - and it involves all the tabloids, the toilet papers and other well known media houses from almost all the major countries around the world.

In a red pill context, you only see articles written by women on their thoughts about raising boys in a feminist dominated era in the media - you never see an article written by men for boys, except on men's own private platforms.

Now let us all do ourselves a favour, and open google, search for how to block websites, get the extension, put all these names into it, and block 'em all.

That goes double for 24x7 news. A good paper newspaper is far better (seriously, the way most news websites are organized, they're fucking with your attention span - you don't even know which is today's news and there's no fixed time to read the news either. They're choked to the brim with links and ads and distractions and a month's worth of articles in one page).

And news on celebrities - seriously, it's coverage of some of the most brain damaged people on earth, published by people no less fucked up, who are even seen as role models by other idiots. You are better off chucking that into the fireplace, at least that will keep you warm.

If you can't read paper news, at least get the e-paper version that's essentially the scanned copy of the actual newspaper instead of surfing their websites.

And then let's just throw out the idiot box - whose name has never been more meaningful than it is today.

Look at your internet search history. Chances are, you're flipping pages every minute or two. Do this for a while, and that's what happens to your attention span - chances are, it's useless for any kind of deep work. Focusing for 3-4 hours at a stretch becomes impossible if your mind is perpetually distracted to ADHD.

And that goes double smartphone's browser away for a while as well. Whatsapp, Facebook, Notifications! God, email could never hope to distract you like that.

Stop looking at news feeds on social media, it's a black hole of mental monkeying. Beware of even the wiki walk - you start somewhere and end up on another planet because of all those links to more and more articles. The worst part? The Forgetting curve -- within 24-48 hours, you'd forget all about it.

What in the world is the use of wasting time and energy on things you can't even remember? Your FB is best for talking to old friends and seeing their pictures, and once a month for one person is usually what you would do in real life if it wasn't bombarding you with hourly updates.

The news is said to be the first form of media that first worked on presenting 10 things to a human mind at once on a single page. Today the internet probably bombards you with a thousand links at once on one page. Till then, humans learnt step by step on a linear path needing their full attention on one thing before moving on to another. Once parallel bombardment began, so did man made ADHD.

There are plenty of reports of guys who quit social media and their GPA jumped up from like 2.5 to 4.00/4.00. Just saying.

But let's not be indiscriminate. There is good stuff out there, but even that you need to read very carefully. How? Like this. You go to a good website on productivity, read ONE article, start following it. And till it's followed, you don't read the next one. Because there's something called a forgetting curve, and it ensures that you forget everything you read in a few days if you don't revise it. So one article later, you're busy practicing the theory, and you have nothing to browse.

Feel that stillness? You've got nothing to do, and you're restless. Guess what, that's a sickness. Your mind's worked itself into chronic ADHD, desperate to escape the present moment and only meditating like a Buddhist monk will bring it back to peace. You have to retrain your mental monkey to accept the present moment in toto.

But now, you suddenly have all the time to cook a healthy meal, lift, do the laundry and finish your work by bed time. You look at real people and see what they do, not what they say on TV or Facebook or Twitter or even to your formerly gullible ears. You probably get on time to work, and leave far earlier than you ever imagined. Your house is even clean, and your parents wonder who you are (assuming you're that age group).

You'll realize that every form of pleasure was about 1% refreshing yourself and 99% meant as an anesthetic to numb the discomfort of being here and now and escape. Fear of missing out? Bah, you're missing out on life itself.

Congratulations, you just stopped the media poisoning that was been fed into your brain cells and are on road to recovery.

What about your mind then? Meditate, be fully here and observe this moment, read a 500 page book cover to cover, play sports for hours, learn to play an instrument good, go on a long drive, travel, go buy some decent clothes to replace those torn, faded jeans you've been wearing for the last 10 years because you're too lazy to get your ass out of your chair.

And Lift. Run a marathon, if you can. It's far more mental than you think. Your mind's muscles have atrophied far more than your bodies' - modern media is utter obesity for the mind.

Of late, I have observed a very notable trend of all media to try and spark negativity and speak against the interests of the progress of their own countries. As an example, when the USA was developing the 5th gen F-35, the media wrote every damn thing possible against it, only to shut up when it started annihilating opponents at Red Flag. Modern media is essentially determined to self sabotage and direct societies to implode from within, it's almost like national level betaization and hypergamy at work. A quick search of who owns media houses and who funds them would tell you why.

Come to your own views and develop your own frame that's backed up by reality and not the poison propaganda of the media.

More than any kind of "toxic masculinity" (all these are media shit tests aimed at unattractive men - Alpha fucks, beta sucks - yeah, it's time to revise that), there is only toxic media and it's run by some of the most toxic people born in this world. Let's spread the word. Toxic media must become the highlight hashtag term of the 21st century if the truth must dawn on the human race.
