How much NEWS do you get?

[eyeagainsteye]

I probably get too much news. I watch local news, out of L.A. I try and steer clear of the world news and don't watch CNN at all. I do glance through the newspaper daily. I stop at only stories that catch my eye and read them. Some stories on Iraq. Look at the baseball standings. See if the Reds won and read most of the business section.
I have vowed many times not to watch the news or not even care what is going on in the world. Become disconnected and only care about things that around me. Cause I have no control on what happens in the world. The news can be very depressing. Every story is about murder, gas prices, immigration and war. Why do I even care?

I'm a total news junkie as well. I buy the newspaper on most mornings (either Independent or the Times), watch news in the morning as well if I have the time (or listen to the news in the car), then throughout the day I may read some news websites if I'm online. I try to watch the 6 or 7 o'clock news in the evening if I happen to be at home, and a lot of the time I also have BBC News 24 on in the background. :p

I fear I don't get enough news.

In the morning through bleary eyes I watch:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/breakfast/default.stm
http://www.gm.tv/

I tend to read these newspapers or browse their websites:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html
http://www.guardian.co.uk/
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/

Apart from that, I just look into stories that I have some interest in...I don't really tie myself to particular news outlets to find out about things, and no where else.

I do avoid the weather and sport...that is a no go area.

I usually have the tv on Fox or CNN while online but rarely listen to anything unless its important

..and I always read our city newspaper
