@x I like the sentiment, though I am inclined to disagree. Freedom of the press exists for a reason. We need to be able to report on things when there is clearly something wrong (like the Snowden leaks).

There is, like you say, a lot of junk news. When Notre Dame burnt down I was upset, but I didn't need to know to much more. Once the cause was found out the coverage should have stopped.
