> How is one supposed to cast an informed vote without following the news?

Presumably by catching up on big-ticket issues right before an election, rather than shallowly consuming every piece of rage-bait. I expect that retrospectives are more accurate anyway.

I find it hard to resist glancing at aggregate news headlines, despite most of it being of no use to me or deliberately misleading. I find I don't have much of an emotional reaction to it, but maybe that's skepticism at work.

This is very much country depended I guess. Here in Poland if you only tuned in right before an election you'd miss a huge amount of crucial context.
