I think daily news is probably a good thing, given how far back in time it goes. (Newspapers have had centuries.) Possibly even twice daily like certain eras of newspapers where you'd have a morning and evening gazette.
I question a lot more "24/7 news". At some point beyond "twice daily digests" it does seem like too much news. It certainly doesn't help that 24/7 news to keep "engagement numbers" such as viewer counts or retweet counts deeply blurs the lines between entertainment and unsubstantiated rumors with "news", but even if you could somehow crack down on "news-like entertainment" there's probably still way too much diminishing return on it all beyond once or twice a day.
I don't know how we solve that though and a lot of people would complain if you tried to ban cable news networks and news Twitter, but sometimes I do envy the people that lived in "at most twice a day" news cycles.
