Same here. I don't watch TV, read news, listen radio. HN seems to be faster then most of commercial news. Especially in comparison with "popular news" my country. There are at least 2-3 days delay with "non-breaking" news and few hours with "breaking" news.
Last but not least, as you and posted articles confirmed, most of public news are useless. They are just copied from one source and have no information value for my life or better decisions. For me, AskHN category and comments from most people here is more valuable source of information.
