Rarely. The news to me is hand picked propaganda, sensationalized garbage, and skewed presentation of facts all for profit. I don't believe the news is truly about keeping the public informed. It just keeps getting worse too it seems. I especially refuse to watch Fox News. It's a bunch of far right garbage as far as I'm concerned.

Fox News is the only national news that is worth watching.  All of the rest are totally biased for the President and his cohorts.  I watch the local news also.

I don't usually watch but my wife does. She likes to be informed  both locally and around the world. Then she just shares with me a little bit of here and there and what not.

We've been Fox News and Fox Business News fans for years but since I had our Directv disconnected we don't watch as much news.  My husband listens to talk-radio most days to keep up with the political news and we do have local channels so we can listen to the local news when we want to.

No..i do not watch the news.  I will read headlines on yahoo...to keep up with some current events but I will not watch the news.   Too upsetting and too sensational...good question.

Only when my mom is watching it. Other than that I get most of my news from the internet.

Interesting you should ask. I have noticed that lately I have found myself dodging the news. Im so serious when I say I haven't watched the news in over a week.

Yes I watch the news but not like I use too. Even the local news seems to be mostly bad news, neighbors shooting neighbors... You get tired of seeing it after a while.

I read them on the newspaper now.  We cut off our TV and spend more money on our internet now.  I know there are a lot of shooting around here.  I don't know what other think when they started to shoot each other like that?

I don't normally watch the news unless there is a specific story I want to see.

In the evening I watch the local news while I'm eating supper.  Then I see what the headlines are on the world news.  If there's something interesting, I'll watch.  If not, then I turn off the TV.  The world news has too much about all the fighting in the foreign countries.  That doesn't interest me.  What happened to all the feel-good stories?!!!

I do watch try to keep up with what's going on in and around the world. But I find the news to be quite tedious. Give me the internet I'll surf for what I'm interested in knowing or hearing about.
