I think it's fine to avoid the news, particularly for your mental health. Makes perfect sense to do so.
the problem is when people avoid it, make no effort to inform themselves at any point then trot along to the polling station and then put their cross next to the Tories because Boris seems like a nice chap or because Bert down the pub told them to (I'm not saying this applies to anyone on his thread. You can of course avoid the news and still keep yourself informed) largely oblivious to how the chancer has actually performed in office.
