I’m revisiting something from 266 posts ago: ‘News is an explanation of things that have already happened or are in the process of actually happening.’ There’s not enough true news to keep click rates high enough to keep selling the ads or justifying the licence fee.
Wise words. We stopped taking the news several years ago. Saving my tiny brain for curiosities and trails of breadcrumbs!
I have cut waaaaaaayyyyy back on the news I consume, but I still enjoy being somewhat informed about what's happening in the wider world
