What I was taught is this is just the labor of being critical, or just "having a critical mind about things." I can maybe see how it is exhausting, but I am not sure I understand the implication that it could be better or different. If it is particularly exhausting to you, it is perfectly fine to suspend your judgement about certain things!

It could be better and different - trust. Being critical is not the same thing as not trusting anyone at all. Media has by and large become not worthy of trusting at all. There are exceptions, but they are few and far between.

The economics of just giving the news with little bias just aren't there anymore.

If running a marathon is not exhausting to you, I don't think expecting the rest of the world to feel fresh after it is the right way to see the world.

Except given the noise/signal ratio and the sheer mass of information we have today, the workload is much higher than training for a 42 km run.
