I think what they meant was not reading news on the weekend. You will still get updates about those things during the week.

  that would be reasonable but there still can be important news on weekend and it takes literally seconds to skim through headlines

    It's less about the time spent and more about the mental impact of reading about all the bad things in the world. For a while, I literally consumed no news at all, but important news still reached me through friends. (Now, I'm back to reading the news almost daily, mostly because of the war and because there are big changes regarding COVID regulations in Germany at the moment.)

      the impact is really up to you and how thick is your skin, whether you are getting angry/scared when reading the news or not news through friends work only if you have many local friends and not friends scattered across the world, so they won't have much useful news for your day to day life and these days I try to avoid small talk about news with local people, because almost everything is way too controversial unless you agree with MSM propaganda
