Fast news is like fast food. Similar to how I prepare and eat many of my meals, I prefer to be able to sit down with the paper and read, fold, tear, whatever it is that I want to do. Scarfing down a burger or a sandwich in 10 minutes is not conducive to good digestion, and neither is the pop up, flashy screen, scroll and index electronic news media. This is not to say that fast food and electronic media don't have their place in our world these days, but a constant diet of either is bound to be tough on you.
Reading the sunday paper after a good home cooked breakfast of biscuits and gravy and eggs, or waffles piled with fruit and cream and a dollup of pure maple, is a tonic against the rat race. It is the Immodium of our 21st century lifestyle.
