There is plenty of news that is relevant and important. It's just that people simply don't care. How many people here know the name of their state representatives or city councillors, let alone what they vote for? I certainly don't.
If people don't care, then by definition it's not relevant...to them. This lack of interest may not be in their best interest, but that's on them.
I'm not anti-news but at the same time acknowledge that you can ignore 99% of news without it directly affecting your life. Even if you'd go on this news diet, anything of real importance will find its way to you anyway.
