"Out of the approximately 10,000 news stories you have read in the last 12 months, name one that – because you consumed it – allowed you to make a better decision about a serious matter affecting your life, your career or your business"
I'd say quite a bit actually. It's helped me make better investment decisions.
e.g. news following tech industry let me get Nvidia at 160 a share.
Not to mention things like entertainment and sport news are useful for making small talk (I like to try to be an accommodating co-worker).
Plus it keeps me informed/shapes my perception of my Government and how I intend to vote.
Real question is it worth consuming and checking all day? Hell no.
