You make a very good point. Also, time gives us a saner perspective to view an event with, without attachment to emotions and impulsive thoughts. I am very much in agreement with what you said. I don't mind reading about something 6 months later.
Short of an armed overthrowing od the government where I live, or aliens attacking, or an asteroid hitting the planet, I don't see how instantly knowing the "news" helps me keep my peace if mine.
