Local or National News
« on: July 07, 2017, 09:27:09 am »
Which do you prefer to watch or just find yourself watching much more than the other?  Funnily, I would rather know what is happening locally but find myself caught up in the drama and importance of the national/international scene.  However, sometimes I just turn it off because I've had enough!

I watch the local more then the other news station I am finding  the news is so leftist and liberal and too me won't  even report factual news and this staying on  Trump and Russia all the time I just  tune or turn them out, Most mornings now I watch OAN, and they are  a better then CNN, NBC,CBS. They just trash Trump all the time.  I say give him a break. We spent 8 years giving Obama a break and look where we are.

I like both.  You get a different spin from each of them.

I look at a little bit of both.  The emphasis here is a little bit.  My need to know will never turn me into a news junkie. 

For me, too much news means elevated stress.  After finding out what's going on ( locally, nationally and around the world ), then it's off to the things that I have more control over.

I watch the local news for weather, national news for sports, and internet for entertainment news :)

I watch both as they are on one after another and I usually making dinner  and then we are eating.  Good time for family to discuss their day and what is going on the world and city

I was a poli sci major in college, so my tendency is to follow (wisely) national news.

I hate all the false garbage coming out on so many stations, I try to validate what I accept as truth.

I occasionally check local news, but it is not my focus. I should really do that more often.
