Of course they're horrible and depressing, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't know about it, because having a better understanding of the world allows for much better perspectives on our own lives and the issues that we're facing.

I'm not saying that you're wrong, but I do agree with Ka-pi here. Not getting invested into all sorts of different topics makes life less stressful and by default more relaxed. Many news topics don't directly affect the overwhelming majority of the population, ergo they needn't know about it and they don't spend a thought on it.
