Lately, my Google Reader 'unread items' count has been increasing steadily. at one points it reached almost 900 unread articles. I've had less time to read news lately, but the main cause is that Engadget and Joystiq, my two main sources of news, have been increasing their post count by mostly adding fluff news that I don't really care about, averaging about 36 and 28 articles per day respectively. While Download Squad, one of my favourite sites averages 10 posts per day. Checking my Google Reader stats, I've been reading around 100 posts a day.
I prefer quality over quantity. The top news blogs need to focus on providing a higher standard of news, and not just post everything they get their hands on.
