So would you categorize it as "news" addiction rather than internet addiction? I put quotes around news because today's news isn't really news, just over dramatization of current events, IMO.

I select "not interested/don't recommend channel" on all "news" type stuff on YouTube, and it's a much better experience. I learn more about all kinda stuff that I'm interested in. It took a few weeks for it all to filter out, but YouTube has a bunch of interesting stuff that's not news/current events related.
