Agreed. The whole point of news providers should be that they're filtering the "new" information down to what's actually important. But because of the engagement economy we've built, the goal is instead to make EVERYTHING sounds like critical breaking news, even when it's not.
I really hope there is some kind of replacement for the 24 hour news cycle, because otherwise society will continue to polarize.
