Yeah, stop watching cable news. Take anything news related on social media with a helping of salt. Serious publications are usually more reliable even if they have a little bit of a slant.

I also like skimming memeorandum.com since it mainly just shows what people are discussing. Important to know that articles there are popular topics, but not necessarily accurate/objective.

This is how I feel.

80% of the news I consume is from AP or Reuters. The rest is probably divided up between The Economist, Axios, and NPR. If I watch the news on TV, which is rare, it’s PBS NewsHour, or local news.

I feel like this article is conflating “staying informed” with watching CNN or Fox News 24/7. Or reading obsessively every article published on National Review, NYT, Fox, WaPo, etc.

You can still moderately consume more objectively grounded news sources, and stay more informed than if you didn’t at all, while not being addicted to having the news on 24/7.
