I went from long time news-junkie phase to no-news phase to just-enough-news phase.
Being a citizen in a democracy is an active process and the active part doesn't have to take too much time. For example, you can check news just two times a week.
For those who are saying there are no neutral news organizations, here is my take:
All people are biased. Organizations are made up of people. Hence, you won't get an organization without bias.
The goal is not to find organizations with no bias. The goal is to get your news from organizations with high standards of journalistic integrity and professionalism. Organizations that are aware of thier bias and try to seperate their news coverage from thier opinion section. There are many such news organizations (probably more than any time in history). Just pick two or three such outlets and you will stay informed.
