I do at least 2-3 hours a day and it's beginning to feel like a crack addiction.

I am also realizing I get mad at the news so much, but at the end of the day if I don't use this information for some sort of praxis, what is even the point of just regularly getting mad?

    Theory isn’t something that exists in opposition to reality; it’s a framework for interpreting it.

    Correct, but theory without a solid grounding in reality is less productive than the opposite. This thread seems to be a referendum about whether you should pay attention to the world around you.

    otherwise MSNBC addicts would be able to outthink any of us

    If you can't pick your sources better than an MSNBC addict then I'm afraid they will be able to outthink you.
