I mean it's really up to you but I disagree with this. Reading the news enables you to have an understanding of current world issues and become a contributing member of society. I'm not sure where you live, but I feel like in the Silicon Valley there is pretty large bubble where people are so focused on building a startup they forget how thousands of children are being gassed in Syria. I believe that reading the news can give you perspective on the world and life.
