I think more people should have this attitude (that you should not consume news):

I have talked to people who are genuinely distressed by things happening in the news and are afraid to miss something if they cut it out. But usually information in the news isn't *actionable* even if it's important.
It would be interesting to have a service that gives you summaries of the news from 6 or 12 months ago, with care taken to cover the general response and counter-narratives.
@drewfer It's certainly better than instant news, but it's still got all the wrong incentives, and is generally not terribly accurate.
