One of the joys of the fall is that I save time watching the local news; I know that if helmet football is mentioned in the first minute of the telecast there is actually no news that day, and I can do something else. But in 2020 I've realized this isn't exactly the best approach, primarily because I've realized the news doesn't seem very good at prioritizing coverage.
For example, I thought that if a police officer put a bag over someone's head, then that person died, and the autopsy ruled it a homicide, I suppose I thought it would be the only thing on the news for quite some time; it should at least be the lead story. I think the big news the next day was that Cam Newton was elected captain of the Patriots; voting is important.
