It affecting me doesn't mean I need to know why. If a serious earthquake happens it also affects me a lot and there's no way to get news about it in advance. The only reason you feel like you have to follow the news is because you can, but at the cost of what?
I have several examples of major world events I didn't know about for many weeks or months until it came up in conversation and I've never felt it affected me in a negative way, meanwhile I get time for long walks with my dog.
