I am not sure how you got that out of my comment. What exactly is real information? Personally, I think people who only get their news from "trusted" sources are actually closing themselves off to a variety of different opinions, however disagreeable. I do not feel bombarded with information because like you, I don't watch TV. Everything I read is selective based on what I want to read, not because it just happens to be there. Take twitter or HN for example, it's not like I'm clicking all the articles and leaving comments on all of them. One could argue that by getting your info from a few selected sources you are actually just absorbing their information from whatever few sources they have and are not seeing the full picture.
