He was speaking about charity when he broke from his prepared remarks and directly addressed the people of Utah.<br \/>\u00ab\u00a0There\u2019s so much anger, there\u2019s so much division in the world today. And I\u2019m going to ask Utahns right now to turn off cable news, to turn off Facebook, to turn off the things that we find anger,\u00a0\u00bb he said. \u00ab\u00a0To turn off those things that pit us against each other and to start living life again.\u00a0\u00bb<br \/>The governor urged people to reconnect with their neighbors and do acts of service and kindness. Asked about his remarks by FOX 13, Gov. Cox said he has seen divisions among Utahns that started before the COVID-19 pandemic, but have only increased since then.<br \/>\u00ab\u00a0We\u2019re seeing it everywhere. There\u2019s so much anger, so much divisiveness out there right now,\u00a0\u00bb he said. \u00ab\u00a0I hope if nothing else, at least for a season at least during Thanksgiving, during these holiday seasons, we can put that aside. I\u2019ve encouraged people to find people who maybe they were friends with that they\u2019re not now, we\u2019ve often seen the political divide has hurt families, it\u2019s hurt neighbors and friends. If you do do a kind act for someone, it has a way to soften those things and remind us what really matters.\u00a0\u00bb<br \/>It is not the first time Gov. Cox has called for a cable news and social media detox. In May, the governor was speaking about a legislative resolution against critical race theory when he said he was \u00ab\u00a0eight years sober\u00a0\u00bb from cable news, and urged people to ignore \u00ab\u00a0talking heads who make their money from making you outraged.\u00a0\u00bb He acknowledged appearing on some cable news shows to \u00ab\u00a0appear as a voice of reason.\u00a0\u00bb<br \/>About Us<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox13now.com\/news\/local-news\/cox-asks-utahns-to-turn-off-cable-news-facebook-and-start-living-life-again\">source<\/a><\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MenuSALT LAKE CITY \u2014 Governor Spencer Cox asked Utahns to quit cable news and Facebook to heal political and social divides that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.The governor was appearing at an event for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Wednesday, helping to launch \u00ab\u00a0Giving Machines,\u00a0\u00bb special vending machines that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"googlesitekit_rrm_CAow1sXXCw:productID":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-non-classe"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/monblogeur.tech\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/monblogeur.tech\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/monblogeur.tech\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monblogeur.tech\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monblogeur.tech\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1612"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/monblogeur.tech\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1612\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/monblogeur.tech\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monblogeur.tech\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monblogeur.tech\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
