While I'm an avid reader of TE, and love their style and what they (openly) stand for, it should not be a replacement for daily news or even be your single source of news. They often cherry-pick studies and data, and are biased as any other human is.
It's far better to distribute 80% of your attention over 2-3 good sources with different frequencies, and the other 20% for random sources, especially those that have an editorial line that goes against what you usually support.
For example, I read (when possible) TE, NYT and a newspaper from one of my home countries, and supplement that with news and articles from a lot of other sources, including even FOX News and some radical-left websites. It is good to see the world through different lenses, not only gives you a different perspective, but also gets you thinking about what makes other people see the world the way they do.
