it is just noise that does not really matter for your life (and mine too). This is pretty-well described in "Antifragile" by Nassim Taleb, consider reading.
Different people have different levels of what matters. If I didn't read the news, I wouldn't know that my country would search my phone at airport and prosecute for acts it didn't like. Or which countries are safe for get together with family. Or that I may lose the chance to renew my passport in third country and have to urgently renew it, otherwise risking a trip to hostile homeland and potential residency permit issues.
