I rarely consume news in the traditional sense. I follow some groups on Facebook and Google Plus, and they sift through the shit for me.
On the whole, though, I don't really see much the point in the news. Even if it wasn't propaganda, news is just mostly pointless information. Can be interesting, I suppose, but I don't think a person is "superior" for being "well-informed". Good for pub quizzes. Not much good for much else. Much better spending that time improving a skill or learning something of some kind of economic or personal value.
