Default do you watch the news?

I used to watch the news all the time, but recently I just don't seem to watch it, I know practically nothing about the world's recent goings on. It's quite embarrassing actually, I blame Big Brother.

Nope, doesn't interest me. I rarely ever watch TV anyway.

If anything serious is happening social sites/forums soon fill me in.

Don't think I've ever chosen to watch it, have obviously seen it a few times when my mum or someone else has put it on, but that's it.

Very rarely

Phone hacking/banking/the eurozone stuff bores the **** out of me, and if it's not that, someone's died

So depressing

I clicked the wrong poll option - my apologies.

I only watch it if something worthy of my time happens, not all this Eurozone/banking tedium, as Marc said.

It's annoying the way they barely ever have anything happy to say.

I don't really watch normal TV - I record everything I watch - so no. But if I've watched all my recorded programmes and nothing else is on, I just stick on the news for background noise.

But now we have Choice of 15 News stations
so watching France24 or RT or FoxNewsHD or SkyNewsHD
is great as you get a Much bigger Outlook
than say Omah who trusts the BBC.



Even Bloomberg is Great
finding out more in depth
than say the Bloated BBC could ever do


CNCWorld is Great new one
