Why do you desire to be connected to that world?

  Because I live in the US, and this stuff matters, one way or the other.

    I don't mean to pick on you specifically, because I'm sure you have your reasons for saying "this stuff matters". However, I am curious of what the value is of staying that up to date in the news cycle other than dopamine hits. Seems more like an addiction to stay that on top of the news cycle than a more measured approach like the weekly economist digests posited above.

      The Economist just doesn't cover everything that's going on. Realistically, any one of us could ignore most news and be fine, but I feel that it's part of our job as citizens to be informed and aware. I also feel that it's worth kicking in some money to the people doing the journalism that's uncovering important stuff. Look at the Roy Moore stuff that got uncovered, for instance. That was the election right there.
