Ok, in my *personal* case this largely already applies because I'm barely reading any portals, not watching TV etc. Just don't have time to.
However, I'm still exposed to news from the social media I follow and it would be counterproductive to limit exposure even further *this way.*
But that's me.
But the fact is that 90% of population does follow "the news" so they just won't limit their exposure by mere avoidance. They need to be taught to limit exposure while being exposed.
