Some of the news itself is tragic. But it's a false equivalence to claim that the headlines and article content between news sources (e.g. Washington Post vs. the FT) are equally outrage-provoking or informative. The Washington Post was listed in the middle because their articles are usually highly informative (from the number of interviewed people and documents analyzed), though their headlines are more clickbait.
Both The Washington Post or the FT are different from (typically) Salon, and each is a far cry from social media. Also, the debate of news media in place of discussing social media is exactly the effect that Zuckerberg intended with his comment.
- Bitcoin has no future as a payments network, says FTX chief
- Putin signals acceptance of Finland and Sweden joining Nato
- China’s economic activity plummets as Covid lockdowns hit growth
- "Russia learns a hard lesson about the folly of war"
- Harrow Beijing school loses its hallowed British branding
Or Wikipedia's Current events Portal:
- Hassan Sheikh Mohamud (pictured) is elected as President of Somalia.
- In the United States, ten people are killed in a mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York.
- Ukraine, represented by Kalush Orchestra with the song "Stefania", wins the Eurovision Song Contest.
- Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan inherits the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and becomes President of the United Arab Emirates after the death of Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
I don't think I get anxiety from content "designed for outrage". But if I go to the front page of the Washington Post, here's what I see:
>Buffalo shooting suspect wrote of plans months ago, online messages show
>Only 22 saw the Buffalo shooting live. Millions have seen it since.
>A barrage of ‘never-ending gunshots’: Inside the Buffalo massacre
>Ukraine ends bloody battle for Mariupol, evacuates fighters in steel plant
>Republicans are bringing extremism to the mainstream
>White Americans must speak out against white supremacy
>Russia is losing. That might make Putin more dangerous.
I'd say that these headlines are more in the "giving me anxiety" camp than not.
