My dad has watched the NBC nightly news every day for 30+ years.
It's amazing how many of the national headlines can be condensed down into 22 minutes when you remove all of the talking heads, reactions, and noise.
Is their coverage perfect? Does it go into detail? Absolutely not. But in the long run average it's remarkable how informed you can stay without filling your head without the extra nonsense.
- fullshark 1y agoI follow https://join1440.com/ https://join1440.com/ for that reason. Yesterday's newsstories, condensed to the basic key elements. I really don't need to know the exact details of what's currently happening and can find out the next day once the noise is filtered away.

- distances 1y agoI stopped reading news, and I am now watching last evening's news broadcast (10-20 mins) always during breakfast. It totally is enough. Includes national and international main topics, and always one cultural topic too. Which I've started to appreciate as being part of the news.
- anonymousiam 1y agoExactly why I haven't watched TV news for over 40 years. I can read my RSS feeds for half an hour each morning and be more informed about world/national/financial events than anybody who got their news from TV. My feeds span ideologies too, so I can get the point of view from multiple viewpoints, recognizing the bias of each.
