I've cut out most news that is potentially controversial (although working on cutting out more and disciplining myslef since I find myself spending a lot of potentially productive time (for work or hobbies) on scrolling reddit, HN, ArsTechnica etc. It's been good for my health so far since it helps me get more of the things I want to do outside of work done (thus reducing late night existential panic attacks over what I'm making of my life). I do still use Twitter etc but I've filtered out most things so all I see is stuff directly related to my hobbies. If something especially interesting happens I tend to just hear about it in jokes from friends and family and maybe I'll look it up then. But I don't generally go after most news actively.
