Really? Unless you're using a much broader definition of "relevant" than I use, I'm struggling to remember the last time I saw something on mainstream media that had any impact on my life whatsoever.

I'm in Germany. Just this week, the news have been full about new policies that went into effect on June 1 to reduce cost of living amidst inflation and energy price hikes in particular (a tax rebate on fuel, and subsidized public transit passes). There is also news about shortages of particular food items like sunflower oil and mustard. (I actually wanted to purchase mustard last week and was confused why there was so little of it. Turns out that Ukraine used to be a major supplier of mustard seeds.) Also, Coronavirus policies for the next winter are being discussed, which admittedly does not have impact on our daily lifes right now, but there will be an impact when the policies go into effect.
I don't disagree with your notion. There really is a lot of news that is non-actionable and can therefore be considered superfluous, but "I can't remember the last time" is taking it way too far in my opinion.
