I think it's already abundantly clear that no ordinary person needs to receive granular news updates on a minute-by-minute basis. Reading the news once a day is plenty. It is, in fact, much more news than most people have received at most points in human history.

The issue (very simplified) is that our society is 85% people who don't follow anything and are generally far too ignorant about what is going on and 15% news junkies who consume too much news in an unhealthy and polarizing way.
