Yesterday, I was thankful for not paying any attention to the news while I cooked, served friends, and then relaxed. I turned the radio off and didn't check any websites. It was nice.
I don't mean to be callous about Mr. Woods' injury, but is this example really important? To put it a better way: it is of zero (maybe negative) value to me to hear "X happened to celebrity Y", or "celebrity Z died", for that matter, 45 minutes earlier than I would have otherwise. What would be of value to me (and seriously, I would pay a lot for this) would be some kind of magic device that filtered out such items out of my media consumption and coughed up a precis on Saturday afternoon after I do the crossword.
