Reading the print version of a newspaper isn't going to help, because they're just as guilty as anyone of putting up repetitions and very minor updates of the same few stories instead of actual, y'know,
new things that have happened. Just look at what's on the NYT front page
right now.
* "The Border Is Broken. And There's No Plan To Fix it." Yawn. This has been in heavy rotation for weeks. Also, poor grammar.
* "Black Hole Image Revealed for First Time Ever" Super cool, but after the first thirty stories I saw about this I'd like to hear about some other scientific advance.
* "William Barr Testimony Highlights: Attorney General Says He Thinks ‘Spying Did Occur’ on Trump Campaign
Video" Also on heavy rotation for days now.
* "Israel Election Live Updates: As Gantz Concedes, Netanyahu Set for Victory" OK, one out of four so far.
You get the idea. Google News is even worse.
* Trump urges inquiry into 'attempted coup' against him
* Israel Election: Netanyahu Appears Headed For Win In Close Race
* IRS commissioner "working on letter" in response to request for Trump tax returns
* Police investigating death of 20-year-old college student who collapsed at Hilton Head Island off-campus party
* The E.U. Seems Ready to Put Brexit on Ice. But for How Long?
* How Stephen Miller tightened his grip over Trump's immigration and border policy
Those are almost all retreads, again excepting the Israel election. Some are damn near duplicates of each other. It's as though even the most "modern" news sources are still stuck on one new headline per day. Every morning when I check in, there's 90% overlap with the previous day.
We're not being overwhelmed with news; we're being overwhelmed with olds. My own urgent quest is not for news that's slower or better according to some arbitrary notion of quality. I'll judge that for myself. All I ask is for news that's news.
