His post "I hate the news"(0) was(is) very influential for me personally.
It was seminal in what become a rather significant change in my habits and view of the world. I am now very conscious that news are entertainment, purely and simply. With the goods and bads of any other entertainment form.
From time to time, while explaining my position to others (often seen as kind of radical), I refer this post. I hope it continues to be available.
