I read the news to judge what the propagandist want me to know, not to actually learn things.
I find skimming NYT’s and FOX’s headlines are perfectly satisfactory. If anything peaks my interest I do independent analysis, putting weight on primary sources. I often try to listen in on experts discussing the matter among themselves.

- dgfitz 2y agoFwiw, I listen to sports talk radio whenever I’m not in meetings or otherwise physically interacting with someone else at work. The actual “news” stopped being productive to read, watch, or listen to when the term “pregnant chads” was coined. Been downhill ever since.
- bitmasher9 2y agoIt maybe consumes 1-3 hours a week to skim headlines. More research as needed, and mostly focused on matters I have a direct interest in (interest as in money on the line) so it counts as work. It’s small potatoes for time, most people spend way more on television and social media.
