No I have not stopped reading or listening to most news. I have never read the social media "news" so technically I also can't say I've stopped reading that. Unless HN counts. Since you reference "the state of the world" I don't think it does. Very little in the way of world affairs makes it to HN (which is just how I like it).
Being uninformed is certainly care free! I would love to criticize you for being part of the problem, but I'll be honest. Even though most of my reading is news, for all the news I consume I don't "do" a damn thing with it. Except maybe, maybe, use it to inform my useless vote.
