I agree with this. I was recently reading an essay by Huxley in which he discussed the overwhelming amount of journalistic information that he read every single day. He argued that it was detrimental because all the reports segued into the next without giving time for a particularly distinct picture. This is part of why books are so important. Firstly you'll get an abridged and generally accurate overview of events and secondly you'll get some historiographical interpretation. "He who is closest to the event is the best witness but the worst judge." I read The Guardian but can't recommend it alongside the BBC as others have done. At times, its left bias verges on the ridiculous.My advice is to avoid as much as possible "learning about the world" from day to day news and articles.
