Why do we have to know everything about everything?

I just read a story that was just so abhorring to me I can’t even repeat it here. Thanks to the internet all forms of information is reported, conveyed and exchanged. Do you welcome all the news you can get no matter how gruesome the details? Is there news or information you do not wish to know? Should the news media have a filter of some kind in that some things just shouldn’t be revealed?

Personally I don’t think we should censor anything but at least put some bits of information that is just so offensive in a special place that the need to know everything curiosity seekers can go to get all the nitty gritty details or at the very least be conscious enough to put a “warning” that unsettling information is about to be revealed if you hit this link.

I really wish I had a mind erasure after reading that headline earlier
