Being informed does not take a lot of time. But there are many wrong ways of doing it like reading what comes up on your twitter timeline or visiting a clickbaity site like CNN or reading any algorithmically-created newsfeed.
Here's what I suggest: subscribe to The Washington Post. Once a day, scan through the homepage and read through any articles that catch your interest. When you hit the bottom of the home page, you are done. Depending on how much you are interested in, this could take five minutes or twenty. You will get a reasonable overview of the most important topics primarily focused on the US.

and youll most certainly be positively or negatively affected by that news daily. which seems pointless to me? why worry about US and iran going to war if 2 weeks later its no longer relevant? Or about how good spiderman is doing in its first week? or whether tiktok is spying on its users?
these things fade almost immediately from public conscious. Staying "informed" daily seems like a waste of time imo.
No news source is completely unbiased, WaPo included. But WaPo is an outstanding journalistic outlet with a long history of accurate reporting and worthy of being a singular news source if you had to pick one.
Right. Even deciding what to write about is a form of bias. I've found it's best to read news from outlets where you clearly understand the bias at play. Then you can calibrate your brain to what you're reading.
