for me, watching news has become a depressing thing, it removes hope.

Unfortunately, one could argue that the channels I watch report bad news 😅
Fwiw, I watch TLDR News from YouTube/Nebula. Their reporting isn't sensationalist nor do they show harrowing and grim images. They just report events. But they do report topics like wars and conflicts so i don't know what you make of it.
Your work must be bad if you find the news comforting.
Say you're not an American without saying you're not an American
Are you talking about news not making me feel depressed? Now that I think about it, I only tend to watch particular news channels from YouTube or Nebula, and they tend to be less sensationalist. I have not watched TV news in years.
Doesn't like all countries have bad news all the time? Like its always "crime is rising", "economy about to crash", "iLlEgAl iMmIgRaNts".
Primetime cartoons... mine were just on a DVD disk that I play on repeat... 👀 It was like one of the I guess final "artifacts" I had from my previous country before my family left... I forgot how TV even worked in China...
I can't remember much English-language cartoons... like I didn't feel so emotionally invested and be like oh I really want to watch this and I'm gonna keep annoying parents to switch the channel. What do y'all even watch?
I feel like I'm missing that part of my childhood to relate to most Americans (and those in other English-language countries)
