What I use to do as read through the newspaper to learn about issues and events that may not effect me personally.

Then I'd look up another source to get a counter point.

I'm not sure if it's because I'm older and more jaded, or news sources are becoming less information baring and more position pushing, but I am just cutting off my news now.

News aggregators can also just as well inform you as to whether something is bubbling into a major story. I think about any news source and whether they miss something that I want from aggregators, and the answer is often yes.
