You get what you pay for with free news. I've been subscribed to The Economist for a few years and all my news is delivered calmly and emotionlessly and backed up by data and research.

I feel much better and I'm still up to date on real news, not political theatre and recreational rage.

Yeah I agree. I'm mostly talking about what you'll find on Twitter and big subreddits.

Oatmeal is predictable, pretty healthy depending on your toppings, and filling. It is not overly exciting and doesn't cause much emotional response. You still should to eat more than oatmeal, though. Quality, but diversity too. The Economist has had a reliable capital bias since its inception (it's so old you can read them hand wringing for what the end of American slavery is going to do to business). Doesn't mean their stuff is bad. You probably do consume more than oatmeal and I don't mean to paint you as univerous (did I make that up? moniverous?) but I thought I'd put this message out there.
