One of the most powerful things I have got from it is I have completely stopped reading the news and anyone reading this even if not tempted to give up your smartphones, please try giving up the news. For the most part its poison and as above EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW WILL FIND YOU.

National and international news, largely agree. Local news, not so much. It's important to know broadly what is going on around your immediate physical locality. That said I guess you can get a fair bit of it from talking to people. But that is Madness!

I can't say I'm missing the abundance of anti-cycling articles and being swamped by intrusive advertising on my local area news site.

Most online news is garbage. There are exceptions, but unless you are paying a subscription it's probably mostly, definitely garbage.

Local news sources aren't limited to online, at least where we are.
