You shouldn't. Get it from a proper news source, multiple if you can! I prefer news.google.com because it merges multiple sources for similar stories.
I mean that's just it though... I don't go looking for the News. I just enjoy AF and I happen across it by accident. I would wish to know more about the events of the world if I felt like I could have any impact on them. All it seems to really do is make me depressed about things I can't change. I do a little bit of research before voting in an election but it's always pretty much choosing between 3 policies that I don't agree with but definitely avoiding to vote for the one I disagree with the strongest.
The most interesting News I've read for a while is the progress in AI research. The way machine learning has allowed programs like OpenAI to defeat a world class Dota 2 player... and the way an AI can defeat the best poker players in the world at No Limit Texas Hold 'Em Heads Up Poker. That stuff is interesting. And non-depressing.
