It's better for your own personal spiritual life not to have those thoughts and feelings internalized in your make up.
It's hard though, I feel angry when I hear lies and distortions. The negative feeling are a clue that I have internal programing that gets triggered when something does not fit my worldview. We can only change our response to it, and get over it, or be mad for a long time.
