False. 

Hiding an important information, no matter good or bad, if it has significance in the work or company, might lead to your termination from job.

You should be diplomatic in how and when you will inform the news to boss.

False initially, same it is necessary to inform. But probably there are situations when it's possible to fix it before telling.

It's false . Even if it's the worst news , the executive management has right to be informed of every action affecting the company . The point is to be able to express the negativity with positive verbal attitude and propose a strategic action plan .

False indeed..hiding the truth from your boss can fire back and it will always fire back like KARMA..Remove the tension and the responsibility off your shoulders and just inform your boss of anything worth mentioning, in this case bad news.

Hiding information may bring about bad consequences for an organisation. Boss should be provided with the news whether bad or good in order to take necessary actions.

Way of presentation and Timing is very important. The Reporting style and timing should not influence the decisions of the boss.
