News Is Bad for You

You spend up to 60 hours per month reading the news? Almost 4 days worth of waking hours dedicated to it?

Is being “well informed” on current affairs worth that much?

People have to spend their time somehow - reading news seems likely more valuable than watching sports, arguing on the internet, gambling, watching cat videos, or playing cell phone games. All those are common time sinks for people.

Seems odd to question the value of reading news, considering.
