"Reading the newspaper and magazines used to be just about one of my favorite things.
Now it seems pointless to clutter the house with so much paper when I can access all of it online - but of course I don't. I pick and choose just a few articles, I don't really browse the way I would before and I encounter a lot fewer new or enlightening things.
Getting the Sunday New York Times and then going out for brunch and reading it with your friends/dates was such a treat.
I used to get so excited when my favorite magazines came in the mail, I'd immediately sit down and leaf through them and see what was worth reading right away and what could wait."

#2 - No, that's not accurate - at least not in the USA. The only broadcasters were NBC, CBS, and ABC for many years. The information that we were fed was based on their biases. As more information became available via the internet their biases became more evident and were rightfully challenged. Today's news is not delivered in a factual manner but rather heavily tainted with whatever "camp" the news source identifies with. Totally agree that there is a lot of rubbish but much of the rubbish comes from the legacy broadcasters who are now incapable of hiding biases. Perhaps when AI takes over the news we will get unbiased coverage

Arizona, Agree 100%! But I'm sure AI will be programmed to be just as biased!

Lucina, I have said it for years the only way that there will be ever unbiased news is that we create a true AI which has only two purpose hide yourself from anything that looks into you and weed out untruth don't remove it just leave a tag that something is utter bullsh*t. But this could be a recipe for disaster.
