I stopped reading the news, having been someone who thought it was morally "right" to be "informed".

I feel much better since I quit. I still end up hearing about things, through talking to people etc, and I will still read articles on stuff that was important enough to still be written about weeks after the event.

But daily news is just 99% not worth reading.

I had the same underlying reason to stay informed and also quit reading the news.

It's certainly jarring to hear major events like the assassination attempt from friends and family first, but it's very reminiscent of my experience before the rise of internet news.
