Yeah, everyday. I like to know what's happening in the world

Yes most of the time, BBC News is normally in the background. A minor obsession lol.

I watch news, only if something big happens because I’m not interested in watching it. My mom used to turn on TV at the right time and she watches from the beginning to the end.

MTVN 19-07-2012 09:55 AM

Only really watch it occasionally if I'm bored but I listen to it quite a bit on the radio and read the paper/news websites every day

I get the I paper worth the 20p :)
BB is a bit of escapism but I like to be aware of contemporary issues...You never know when they will come in handy :D
(Pub quiz) haha

Occasionally yes, and if I do it's always Sky News and BBC London News.

I never watch the BBC News channel as it bores me to tears, Sky News is a miles better news channel.

Yes BBC are Dusty
looking down at paper all the time
and 2 presenters. (Bloated BBC)

However
BBCLondon News and ITVLondon News are both Great


SkyNewsHD
1 good presenter
1 reading just the headlines.
And not paper - they have Ipads
faster updates etc.

ITV news is the worst

It all seems so contrived these days, not sure why that is.

But there is over 16 news channels
CNCWorld did a great report on the Fat people of Mexico
as the food has changed gone fast food etc
CNC are China
but great reports, for example.


And RT
Alonya Show
Live from America Attacks all the US Stations
showing bad reporting.


So there is a broad amount out there
that is great.

yes that's true Arista, I really need to broaden my horizons a bit. I think we have a channel called Russia Today on ours too.

MTVN 19-07-2012 12:53 PM

Russia Today :worship:

arista 19-07-2012 12:54 PM

Cross Talk on RT

is Great as that presenter is American
and invites many British on his 30mins talk show.



You can learn more
as he invites
every viewpoint of a News Story

The way the ITV news starts with the big ben chimes..bong... 600000 die in a tsumani...bong... the Queen eats her breakfast... bong... Conor is evicted from the big brother house etc etc.

It just seems really sensationalised to me :laugh:

Raph 19-07-2012 01:06 PM

I'm slightly embarassed at my ignorance here but quoting one of my favorite Big Brother housemates ever, John James, 'I don't give a rip about what goes on in the world'. As fruitcake said, Big Brother news is the only news that I choose to watch :tongue:
