The middle ground is to put a defined limit on news consumption, like 5 minutes per day. That’s enough to stay aware of major events but not so much that you’d necessarily get wrapped up in excessive worrying about irrelevant items. NPR, the BBC, and probably others, offer 5-minute audio news briefs updated hourly. These are available to stream on demand like a podcast. I wouldn’t recommend listening hourly but the point is they’re up to date at any single time in the day, which you might choose as your daily news blast. Then just tune out, literally and figuratively.
I used to live in a country where they would just bunch them all together: local, country, EU all in one day. Kind of sad, because it gives the impression that your vote only counts once in a few year, as I said in my previous comment. No midterms.
The titles are extreme because the topics they discuss and are trying to point out are extreme.
These journalists and writers are criticized for pointing out outrageous, extreme and unbelievable events in the world that are actually occurring.
Yet they would also be criticized for NOT pointing out outrageous, extreme and unbelievable events in the world that are actually occurring.
Double Down News is an actual counter point to the current establishment and they are not afraid of pointing out difficult truths to actually inform people to the dangers of the world rather than in ignoring, playing down or white washing current events in the world.
I try to keep in touch with the local news, my neighborhood, my town, my province, my country, my continent. Anything beyond that I follow from far away.
