I'd maybe agree with the news if we didn't live in a market economy. If you are investing anything in the stock market, you must know what's going on, and business news is linked to politics. Anyone who uses money should know what's going on at least in their own country to make wise decisions with their money. Another example would be not going out if there is a riot or hurricane outside of my house. News can also bring safety. I can agree with not reading every single piece of news and becoming paranoid/too unnecessarily informed about every possible thing out there.
