I would argue that stripping news of political connotations would be a plus. I wish all news was reported this way.

  One of the suggested political connotations is "Mentions of politicians". You would argue that news should be reported without "Mentions of politicians"? If you disagree with that definition of political connotation, how do you define political connotations?

  Honestly, if you live and work and pay taxes in the US, you kind of have an obligation to keep an eye on your government. It's just basic citizenship. The events you see on the news cannot be divorced from politics. Not even the sports or weather segments. If politicians are doing things that stress you out or make you angry, would you really be better off staying uninformed? I'm not saying that Facebook is a good way to accomplish that, just that it's worth considering before you ask for technology to seal yourself off from political news altogether.

  News with no political connotations is fluff.

    That's myopic. There is all sorts of news, local news in particular, that has clear utility but tenuous political implications. Traffic and weather reports come to mind as clear examples.

      This website has a lot of non-political news itself, e.g. freebsd 11.4 is out etc

      Pay more attention to local politics. Traffic is VERY political.

  Almost as if objective reporting had some sort of value...
