1. Kinda depends on the reason there's no news.
If there's no news because someone exploded a nuke high in the atmosphere as an EMP, that's not good news.

4. That's a false conclusion
But I'm too tired to draw the Venn diagrams showing that the circle of good news can entirely contain the circle of no news and still overlap somewhat into the circle of all news. The question would be whether you would include no news as a circle within the larger circle of all news or create a separate circle of no news completely outside of all news. I guess you could even just label all the areas outside of the circle of all news as no news, but that's not exactly the purpose of a Venn diagram.
