Double "hmm." I keep up to date on news as a hobby (it sort of flows naturally from browsing the web looking for interesting articles anyway), and although I don't watch tv news I check some of the major online outlets every couple of days. This is some sort of vice, I now discover. Huh. I would call being informed an overwhelmingly positive trait, and any conclusions drawn for being informed a side effect that isn't relevant to whether keeping track of the news is a good idea.I know people that watch the "news" religiously and they're definitely more bitter regarding the state of the world and where it is headed.
