I think watching foreign news could be helpful for people because it can keep them updated about international current issues and help them make informed decisions and be critical consumers of information. But on the other hand, I think people should not allow foreign news to sway their decisions about current issues in their country. So overall, I think we should use foreign news to keep ourselves updated, not to influence our lives.
