I don't watch tv at all.

Not always. But I usually do listen to NPR's All Things Considered.

I watch the news.

I used to be a news junkie in my teens and twenties, specifically the talking head type. Lately though I’ve become less interested and only have a bite here & there using my phone.

Avoid the news. It's like you are what you eat, same thing for the brain, shit in/shit out.

Used to be in that "ritual," Jeopardy, Wheel, and all. That all stopped mid-July of last year. Anyway, I don't miss it, and will likely never go back. Mainstream news has just gotten too fluffy, Hollywoody, or whatever; the so-called reporters are just readers, and they're all pseudocelebrities.

If you're intelligent you can watch (or read) the news and apply your own filters. On the other hand, you can avoid it entirely, avoid the risk of being mislead or brainwashed and remain completely ignorant. The problem with ignorance is that the possessor is usually unaware of it, fills the vacuum with their own imagination and thinks they have some kind of wisdom.

Probably right on the news, but now it isn't the same time. We must CHOOSE to watch it...

No, I don't as news is all bias

I watch my news through anything that is funny, now. And we can see it through 'the horses mouth' with a minimal of reporting....I don't think I've watched anything more than snippets of news in a long time.

Have you talked to your doctor about this?

I watch very little network TV and never the news. Would rather read the news in either the paper or using Google news to scan headlines. From there I can select multiple sources for the same story. Also listen to NPR and the BBC news.

I turned off the cable a couple of years ago. Most days I don't watch TV, I'm right here glued to the computer instead. Yeah, I think the evening news may be on the way out.

I may watch weather reporting on tv, I live in a gulf state, but never the news. For some reason, I would rather read about it than watch some bozo.

I am still an unapologetic fan of the CBS evening news. ABC, NBC, CBS still deliver the most balanced, least sensational news.

MSNBC and FOX have an "angle", CNN has way too many talking heads. When it is an anchor asking questions, CNN isn't too bad, but they have a very narrow focus.

The Big 3 are actually covering multiple topics.

I still think newspapers are the best bet for unbiased, fully vetted information. Speaking of dying.

DISCLOSURE: Degree in journalism, former newspaper reporter.

Yeah, I'm not with watching news these days. The mainstream media is complicit for the sorry state of our country today. They have not asked the questions that needed to be asked and seem to be more entertainment, than news gathering and investigative reporting.

Do they still watch Lawernce Welk? I was tormented by those TV programs with the blowing bubbles long after that guy died. I remember hoping the same thing, that it would eventually go extinct, but I've been afraid to check.

Personally, I'd rather eat day old dog vomit than watch that mindless Wheel garbage. But, that's just me!

I'm one of the older little old ladies and I watch the news almost every day.I do it on my Roku so I watch it whenever the spirit moves me and I feel I have time. I also watch more than one source. Typically I check out Reuters, NPR, and CBS. The Roku box allows me to pick and choose which segments of these sources I spend my time on.

I quit watching news when Bush monkey II was Prezydent. I could not stand that POS

OR, you may be watching the future unfold. It may be more prejudiced news and emotional rhetoric in the future.

Yup but I do not go to bed until 11pm

No ....the so called evening news is shrinking to niche levels similar to cable & satellite channels and sponsors pay to reach assumed niche demographics. ....as long as local colleges teach "journalism" fake news will be made by interns and network wannabes. ...if it bleeds it leads. ...always someone is shooting stabbing drugging raping or crashing a car or plane somewhere. ...

I never watch local evening news. I get most of my news from online sources. NPR, CNN, BBC, Guardian Australia, NYT, The Hill, Washington Post. I like to vary my sources to hear different views. The ONLY tv news I watch is The Rachel Maddow Show because she sticks to the facts, has no talking head panels (I hate those), and always apologizes if she gets anything wrong. She is a true journalist.
