As someone who has actively avoided all forms of mainstream news for the last two years I naturally agreed with everything in this article. For me, the most profound point is that most news has absolutely no explanatory worth at all. I got fed up of reading about conflict, death and war and not being able to glean any real non superficial insight into why it's all happening. I find that major news events tend to reach my attention through friends and colleagues so I don't feel totally disconnected and can definitely attest it has made me happier.
