I read this article recently and I was just thinking about my news consumption and how much I want to be affected by it.

I feel like it is important because shit is going on in the world however I usually don't change my habits much over it.

I also think that there should be a middle ground somewhere but I can't think of it so if anyone of you have ideas please share them.

Because we like click bait headlines and over dramatization?

But seriously, I'd never heard of it and just checked it out, and I can't get past the ridiculous headlines while claiming to be unbiased.

The titles are extreme because the topics they discuss and are trying to point out are extreme.

These journalists and writers are criticized for pointing out outrageous, extreme and unbelievable events in the world that are actually occurring.

Yet they would also be criticized for NOT pointing out outrageous, extreme and unbelievable events in the world that are actually occurring.

Double Down News is an actual counter point to the current establishment and they are not afraid of pointing out difficult truths to actually inform people to the dangers of the world rather than in ignoring, playing down or white washing current events in the world.
