I think nonlinear electronic media (like a single news site) is an acceptable alternative.
What I find particularly beneficial is that, even if one refreshes it too often, the content doesn’t change unless there is something actually new. Contrast that to TV news, where they regurgitate the same thing repeatedly, or to a social media website, where you’ll see new articles again and again about the same topic, but from different advertisers.
this is mantra too for news, I refuse to get news from any narrated source that presents me information in a linear non-skippable format set by their own priorities. plus these days its full of clickbaits & bs anyways.
IMO the best source for news is when you pay for it and read it yourself. also multiple sources.

Don't watch TV period.
TV is a terrible, inflammatory medium.
Similar with the web. I am offline by default and have separate machines to go online for specific tasks and predefined periods of time.
Electronic media in general may be inflammatory.
