I got tired of wading through headlines of rape and murder and celebrities and sports, so I get all my news now through rss feeds. This is great because I only want business, science, technology, oddly enough, and a couple of other things. No politics unless it affects those broad topics.
Very nice. I use a reader application called perfect rss, and can subscribe to the feeds using my google gmail account for google reader. A lot of strange terms here for you, maybe. But worth a little research if you like more wheat than chaff.
