It’s hard for me to imagine someone looking back from 2050 and thinking to themselves that the rise of the 24 hour news cycle was this really great thing for society.

I don’t watch network news or television outside of an occasional sports broadcast at all, haven’t for about 20 years now.
I think it is completely unhealthy to have that crap on all day long. When I go to somewhere to eat, and they ask me where I want to sit, and I say “As far away from any television as possible.”
Especially the immediate internet news cycle.
It’s hard to imagine, but most of us actually grew up and lived our lives just fine without knowing what was happening in the news immediately and exactly as it happened.
