That is definitely true. No real background info, just the basics. Headlines with a few explanations. For that I prefer to watch the news. Besides, with RSS compilations you always filter the news in a certain way -- according to your preset fields of interest.
When reading a real newspaper you discover many interesting articles you would never get to see otherwise. Broadens your horizons, so to speak. For me it is definitely worth it spending a little money on.
