@evan Qualified No. News is entertainment. The purpose for following the News is to keep up with watercooler talk.

It is good if the voting populace stays educated on what's going on in the country, what decisions are going to be made and why. Most of what is called News does not cover that.

Citizens have so much going on and they all cope in their ways. It is not fair to say the burden is on each of them to read and analyze multiple sources, sift through the noise, follow the trails that lead back from there. Because that is the way to meaningfully follow the news.

It's a hobby, a special interest, to know what's going on. Preferably everyone would at least have a friend like that, but in reality not everyone will. Second best is that activist organizations make themselves heard when something is seriously going wrong.
