I've blocked most news websites, in the last decades the only "Big World" news that I really needed were communicated to me by others almost immediately (9/11, oncoming catastrophic storm, lock-downs).

When my current endeavor needs tune-in to a particular news cycle, I've set up simple scraping of top headlines only. These are usually demarked via keywords, headers or other metadata. Sure, there are some services and RSS readers that facilitate the functionality and ease of use. Except I need less user-friendliness, not more.

Having to spend a minute more per news source, as opposed to some copy-pastes or clicks, keeps the need to over-subscribe down. The interests of the media in representing information do not match my own. I have not been able to find analyst materials that do not suffer from politically and emotionally manipulative agendas.

Not letting noise in from the start is the best policy for me.
