I can't do it in a Fox News or a CNN soundbite.

And so you have to give yourself time when you want to digest information.

Don't do it in five minutes.

unless you're doing it constantly so it's truly an update.

For those of you that the news is a hobby and it's a civic commitment and it's something that you're interested in and you care about, but it's not your profession, don't do it constantly in little bits.

Instead, give yourself a half an hour or an hour where you say, I'm going to digest

this long form feature.

I'm going to read this thing that is going to help me out on a big issue that I care about.

And then go and grab 10 of those articles or find everything you can from your AI bot.

And Claude and ChatGPT are incredibly useful

If you prompt them properly to say, here's the way I would like to digest news on the following issues.

And I wanted to have all of the analytic balance and the pushback and the smart people on all sides.

And don't kiss my ass.

Don't tell me I'm awesome.

Push back when I'm asking you for something that feels like a bias.

Give it all of that, the training that you would to a very precocious toddler to learn how to help you.

And suddenly you have an incredible tool

that can get you a better media diet, but you have to digest it correctly.

You can't use the tool incorrectly because you end up killing the patient.

I mean, you know, the fact is that Ted was always known at the beginning of having these short, you know, sort of speeches where you could get the expertise on a topic and you're out in whatever it was, 12 minutes.
