I think a News App like CNN+ could have worked if it were ad supported, and otherwise "free" ... let people catch the stories they want, when they want... get 3-4 hours of good content a day and let that carry things.
I happen to like Breaking Points a lot in this regard. You are absolutely right in that 24/7 news really doesn't work and in general causes more harm than good imo.
In the end, it just gets to a point where it's a toxic bubble that too many are willing to parrot. That doesn't even get into the distorted ad spend that does happen, and what it does to reporting. Not to mention the revolving doors between state propagandists and news commentators.
