> I find realclearpolitics.com to be a broad slice of articles and videos from "both sides"

I didn't know that site and just had a look at it. I found that really disappointing! All "news" for today are about Trump and nothing else:

  Sunday, December 11

  - Trump Honeymoon Begins: Confidence in Economy Booming | Cohen & Thomas, NYT
  - Why "Trump Boom" Is a Real Possibility | Kenneth Rogoff, Project Syndicate
  - Here's How to Drain the Swamp | Sen. Cruz & Rep. DeSantis, Washington Post
  - Forget Populism--Trump's Picking Orthodox Republicans | Doyle McManus, LA Times
  - How the Democratic Party Lost Its Way | Thomas Mills, Politico
  - Obama Preaches Empathy; Trump Projects It | Kyle Smith, New York Post
  - Donald Trump and the Art of Getting It Done | Monica Crowley, Washington Times
  - Why Scientists Are Scared of Trump: A Pocket Guide | Elizabeth Kolbert, New Yorker

So you have a single event, the outcome of the US elections. The dust hasn't settled yet. Nobody knows anything about what the new president will do. He hasn't done anything yet. And of course he didn't, he is still in his first days. So up to now there is absolutely no information, nothing. Yet, lots of articles talking about that. Taking about, essentially, nothing.

This is "news" without information. The worst kind of news. "Information" would mean: Choose a different topic where you can actually write something informative about.
