chew over the news vs digest stories

0The idea for the documentary "The Heroes Are Tired" came from old conversations with a dear friend, Mr Amir Syed. Ten years ago he and I used to sit around and01b00 chew over the news, digesting some stories02b00, spitting out others. This issue of rich western countries 'poaching' Africa's doctors was one issue that stuck in his gullet. Amir and I were young hot-blooded idealists and this seemed a fundamental injustice.02br

00I find the two bolded items very similar in meaning. What do you think? Any significant difference?02br
