Depends on what you want to learn. If you want a full scope of the risks plauging a certain region, the news can be pretty good. The issue is when you view incidents in the news disproportionally to their true rate of occurrence.
However, with incidents like cartel kidnapping and murdering 40+ students, including flaying them alive, and almost half of the individuals arrested in connection to the crime are police[0], it's not exactly the kind of incident where any rate of occurrence besides 0 is acceptable. I'd rather know that things like this happen in a specific region than not know. Anything else is reckless ignorance.
