I guess there is political pressure to push news down our throats as people zone out from news in general.

E.g. MS have started to spam the start menu with news.

The sensationalization of web news makes it unbearable. I only read dead tree news papers.

I don't watch or read national/world news at all. I have zero influence over it and it doesn't affect me personally so it doesn't seem worth a minute of my time.

I keep up with a couple of local news sources as that news is actually relevant to my life.
