Emmanuel Kant's test of whether a behaviour is moral is ""would it be alright
if everybody behaved like this?"". In the case of permanently blinding oneself
to the behaviour of one's elected leaders, and enforcing others to comply with
this in their communications with you, I think the answer is clearly: no, it
wouldn't be ok if everybody behaved like this.
However I do believe that a lot of us news junkies could drastically reduce
our quantity of news consumption, with little resulting negative effect on
either our own or others' lives (or indeed on our voting intentions).
Mr. Hagerman is using that extra time and mental energy to focus on a
constructive, tangible ecological project in his community. This definitely
passes the Kant moral behaviour test above - yes, it would be ok if everybody
behaved like this. I think then there is something positive to take away from
Mr. Hagerman's somewhat extreme example. But hey, that's what news is all
about - extremes. Another reason to consider reducing one's consumption.
