So true. In marketing, there is the concept of "content analysis", which is where you SCAN all of the information being presented in all forms of media in order to find PATTERNS in the information from across the spectrum. Over the years I have maintained my ( little remaining) sanity by shifting from being a more ACTIVE consumer of mass media, to more of a "content analyst". In fact, I barely watch full YouTube videos anymore, and instead usually do a brief scan off all the videos available each day (and usually watch one or two from reputable sources). This gives me a MANAGABLE shot of current events to stay informed WITHOUT turning my mind-body-soul to MUSH. Good post.
