News Reading is Crowding Out Book Reading

>Great breed.
Oh I bet ;)

No, I don't enjoy reading the news at all. What do you intend to do about your problem?

No, books are good and papers are shit.

For news just use /pol/

I'm still contemplating whether it is a problem or not. Maybe I just like the news and should read what I like. Perhaps, at least right now, I like the idea of reading books more than actually reading them.

You're a fool if you just get your news from /pol/ and buy into the fake news lunacy. There are facts to be had- calibrate your bullshit detector and wade into it instead of running away like a pussy.

The news is mostly designed to steer people away from facts.

I still make time for several books per month, but I've also been dedicating much more of my reading time to journalism lately. I think I've reached a satisfactory balance between the two, but I worry that once I get a real job I'll have to cut out one for the other.

I've had a subscription to the Econonist for a few years which hasn't significantly cut into my time spent with literature, but since getting on twitter and following people like Nick Land, Jordan Peterson, and a few others, my feed has been inundated with fascinating cultural/political articles.

Cancel your subs and just read infowars

You'll have plenty of time to read books and you can just spend the money on Super Male Vitality and unfluoridated toothpaste instead
