I used to listen to NPR news now EVERY morning, mulled over nearly every post on /r/worldnews and then I slowly realized it's mostly fluff and media outlets trying to squeeze discussion out of things that a really just a one and done event. Nowadays, there is just so much drama and noise surrounding every single thing that happens in the world. It's of no value actually. So I've quit news consumption altogether as well, it's super liberating. This is like the Tim Ferriss approach: if some news is really that huge, you'll hear about it from a friend or coworker eventually. And if it's news like globalthermonuclear war, you won't benefit from hearing about it 5 minutes earlier anyway ;)
