Things aren't happening as fast as 24/7 cable news needs to fill hours. It is a lot easier to pick an half hour to pick articles and a half hour in the evening than be consumed by it. For better or worse Google news is still valuable to me for putting multiple headlines side by side and the difference in intent can be enlightening in its own way. Another thing is especially in the last five years or so the number of pointless articles that do not inform or do real anything that end up as news just is too high. The article that is third or fourth to the post can be 100x more valuable in actually showing references or deeper analysis. It's ok to put the news on hold to stop eating your time/money. Also ditch 95% of opinion articles as hopeless.
