The "news" is never "new". There is nothing in the news that people haven't been doing to each other for thousands of years.

Some people complain that Hollywood just keeps making the same movies, but they'll watch the same news for their entire lives.

Me reading in the news that for the eighth year in a row the city has come in on budget, crime is low, and school achievement is up is great and I enjoy it. Because it affects my life directly. The value of news, repetitious or otherwise, is that it's part of the feedback loop of governance.

Huh? You can easily name the news that literally never happened before e.g innovation and tech
