This is a very fascinating set of comments. We have people that believe that the news is irrelevant, mere entertainment, a form of brainwashing (!), and something that only encompasses quick hit reporting. Then we have those that argue for more specialization since it works just fine for Pandora and Netflix. It seems to be a minority position that a diverse set of news creates a better informed citizenry and this is something desirable. I'm not sure if this is just among techies or if this is a broader belief. I'd be interested in your thoughts.
