I might have agreed with you on the first 3 many years ago. Even NPR has gotten really bad with the burying of headlines.

At this point, the best thing people can do is to just glance at the news when it presents itself and then otherwise move on with their lives. If there's any good to come out of the age of disinformation, it's that maybe people will stop doomscrolling the news.

I’ve been saying for a long time now: if its actually important it will reach you by word of mouth

Now if only I could break the news consumption habit!

Wikipedia Current Events portal is an alternative to scanning CNN, Fox, BBC, NPR etc. I like that you can tab open links to further research around a topic.
