No.
But I don't consider Facebook and Twitter sources of news, either. I'm old-fashioned and still use a feed reader. CNN, BBC, NPR, and the Associated Press are my primary news sources. I would say 80%-90% of the news is current events having no impact on me personally. For those items seeming interesting I delve in and read the article.
Since I live in a democracy and I vote I think it's best that I know and understand what's going on, who's behind it, how our political leadership has affected it, and who I can vote for to help better manage it. This information also helps with my investments I'm depending on for my retirement. I don't see how my being uninformed will help me make good decisions.
