I don't, not anymore. News sucks. All it does is depress me more. I just read about a mall shooting which killed five and the gunman. Man, ignorance truly is bliss. From now on, I'm not going be just ignorant, I'm going to be blissfully ignorant. And I just want to clarify that I intend to do this without the aid of drugs.
Yeah, I read the newpapers. I don't really think you can avoid hearing bad news, as long as you don't live in the woods.guthwulf_de
Yea I know, it just seems that while looking through the paper, 90% of it is negative. Is that what sells? How can people read all that and keep a good attitude?

Yeah it's kinda sad, but the bad news sell way better than the good news. Nobody wants to hear about a mall where nobody was killed... You just shouldn't let it get near you. I think that's the only way to cope with what's going on in the world.

Now I guess people know why I don't really see the sky...
Every morning, I'm not that fond of bad news but I've learned to not let those things get to me... and then there's always the sports- and comics section.
[QUOTE="cjek"]Every day. It seriously feels weird if I go a whole day without checking the news.DanC1989
Same here, anything could happen...I usually watch it each and every day. Local and national :P My local news sucks.. there's always a teenager who's been stabbed, always a London Underground station or three closed because of a signal failure, and the weather is always cloudy 'with short bursts of sunshine in the afternoon' :roll:.
Yeh I do, but I agree that it sucks. There is always more violence or repotrs that the planet is doomed because of global warming or some crap like that. The only news I enjoy anymore is sports news. Which I listen to for everyday on the same radio station.
On the other hand, if you "read" as in "watch," than the answer is "kind of."
I watch enough of it to where I have of general idea what is happening in the world (do not personally enjoy feeling of being clueless), however, at the same time, cannot really tolerate it beyond time period of 15-20 minutes.....too much negativity and bias for my own liking.....
I read the news everyday, usually online. You need to be informed, its the only way that you can stand up to the government. Sadly people are so ignorant in this country that the government can get away with nearly anything.
Yeah, I read the news every day, although I mostly stick to the political/business/world news. I usually don't bother with the other stuff unless it really catches my eye.
I read the news all day everyday... 5:15 AM News on the Internet 5:30 AM local News 7:00 AM NBC Today Show 8:50 AM News paper 9:30 AM Technology News 10:00 AM Gaming News 12:00 PM local news 6:30 PM NBC Nightly News 7:00 PM Celebrity News 10:00 PM Local News 11:00 PM Comic's take on News Repeat....
I do, but I typically stick to news that has a bit more importance on a global scale. People murder other people everyday, if you're still in shock I'd advise you become a hermit.
of course i read the news. i like keeping up what is going on in the world, so i read a couple different sources everyday to see the difference. it doesn't do you much good to stay ignorant, the things that happen still affect you so it is better to keep up with it than be surprised all at once later.
