I’m pretty sure I agree with this take? I do think it’s your civic duty to be familiar with every major story that passes through the 24 hour news cycle. The lie the news media tells is that the best way to do that is to check headlines every 6.8 seconds, when in reality reading a few articles (although you do have to click through and read the whole story) from a reputable source every 1-3 days will leave you much better informed than someone who looks at headlines constantly.
