I think most of us simply adapt. I lean to the ruthless side as to what ends up in my RSS feed. There are a few sites -- fewer than 10 -- I visit daily (Inside Work is one of them). For news I lean to the Wall Street Journal (print and online). I watch very little television news. My RSS feed may be the most revealing. I categorize blogs by simple titles -- work, faith, writing, social media, etc. -- and I hold the list tightly. When I start losing interest in a particular area, I cull down the list. I like Barth's advice for Christians, except I, too, wouldn't include the NY Times. The bible is supplmented by writings online and certain books. But while active management of the information sources helps, it still doesn't solve the larger problem. And I think the larger problem is here to stay.
