Do you keep up with the news on television?

I have 2 sources for getting the news. One is through internet (cnn.com globally and inquirer.net locally) and the other one are local news programs. We have 2 top channels and I watch them every night and before midnight. They are good sources though but the commercials are really long and it's annoying. On cable, I do watch cnn and yes, we have Fox News as well. But not more so than often. For in demand news, I always go online first. But the TV news is more entertaining and the style in delivering the news is more interesting.

I can't stand television news. They focus on the dumbest issues in the campaign. They want drama more then they want to inform. Plus each station has there bias. FOX news for example is so right wing its gross. And the opposite is true for MSNBC and its left wing idiots. I watched this documentary called Outfoxed. One of the scariest things I've ever seen in my life. It was about how FOX news uses all of these techniques and right wing propaganda. Watch it. I'll will change your outlook on television news in general.

I dont think that I get Fox News. I do watch local new every night and the national news at 6:30 pm. I also ocassionally tune in to CNN during the day or at night. I try to keep up with happenings in the news so that I can keep informed of current events. This is importatn to do.

I use to watch Fox News a lot, but here lately I'm lucky to get to watch our local news. I even cancelled our news paper for the time being. Taking care of a sick parent takes a lot of time.

I agree with you. I watch the Fox News channel every morning when I get up just to see whats going on in the world. To me its the best news channel. I get all my information through there. Sometimes I just leave it on all day.

No I usually don't pay attention unless it's something I like, most of the time my T.V. on but im to focoused on the computer so I just kinda listin to what's going on. If I hear or catch a glimpse of something that interest me I just look it up online.

I definitely watch Fox News and I think it's the most unbiased. I love their coverage of the presidential campaign. I also love how they cut across "sensitivities" and call a spade a spade. I disagree that it's a rightist news organization because Fox News is composed of different people. There's Geraldo Rivera and Greta and Colms whom I can hardly call right-wingers. Besides, I am sick of CNN calling Israel "occupiers" much as I am very sick (yuck) of Al Jazeera wgich makes it sound like everything western is "of the Great Satan". The only real news is Fox News!

I'm a total new and political junkie so while I'm surfing the net and posting here I usually have my TV on MSNBC. No offense, but I can't take too much of Fox except for Greta VanSustren. They're way too right-wing for me. Sean Hannity has a vendetta against all the Democrats but they never report a negative word about the Republicans, even Bush for all the damage he's done. I know there have been Democrats that have refused to appear on Fox shows but I can't say that I blame them since it would be like riding into an ambush. On MSNBC and CNN, which I watch now and then, they have people from both sides discussing the various issues. Sure, they have a couple more liberal hosts but they have some conservatives as well like Joe Scarborough who was a Republican Congressman a few years back. Pat Buchanon is on MSNBC and you can't get any more conservative than him. It's fine that there are places to get the news from a different angle, though. The reason there aren't as many liberal radio hosts is because all the radio stations are owned by mega-corporations so they won't put anything other than right-wingers on. Annie

Yes,I do try to catch up with the TV news as much as I could.

I don’t keep up with the news as much. I barely have time to sit down and watch a commercial without interruptions, let alone news. I guess I only want to be able to concentrate on what I am doing. Since watching the news required me to listen and I be too upset if I could not hear an important part of something. So I ignore it all together. Also I figure if any news is headline news, I would hear about it later on the radio. I listen to the radio during my commute to and from work. If I hear too much bad stuff, it really bugs me and turns me into a worry freak.

Yes. The TV is on when it's news time... I'm watching 24 oras on GMA 7. It's a well balance news program, as they say it... "walang kinikilingan, walang pinoproteksyunan.. serbisyong totoo lamng"... That's GMA. I'm not paid for this. No advertizers contacted me to promote the show.

Oy yes. I do keep up with the tv news especially during the prime time. By watching news I keep myself informed with what is going at local and international arena. I can also cope with the latest news from online news channel while I am discussing in MyLot.

i read news mainly from newspaper,esp when sitting on a bus,reading newspapers is always fun even peeping newspapers in other's hand when you don't get one. second source is from internetTV, it's rather flexible,you can choose channels, dates,topics, and repeat time and time again . it does good to my listening for i need to keep my ears sharp and sensitive to English. what's more, from foreigh TV or radio, i can hear different point of views like BBC,VOA, in a word ,i can hear some real facts which are forbidden to broadcast in my local station. that's cool and influencing me towards the good way.
