Never~Unless after a show like medium, I watch like two minutes of the late news, but normally no, because the internet is a much better provider for the news, considering that one country can be ahead of another and gets the news before the other and I'll shutup now. x3

I sometimes watch the news. Though the habit of me watching the news grows as more and more interesting things come up. Such things are sort of near my area.
Shootings, murders and whatnot. It's really sad.

Ew, no. It's just so boring and depressing. If I want the news, I'll get on the internet.

I watch it every night. Mostly cause Jacksonvilla is an exiting city, and theres always something interesting happening, happened, or going on.
I need a life XD

I watch the news when I can, which is unfortunately not very often. I rely on the internet or word-of-mouth to pass on what i really need to know.

Normally no. I just get it from news sites, ans sometimes watch broadcasts online.

I guess being into journalistic stuff spurs my like towards the news.
I remember when I was little I used to HATE it when my parents would watch the news. Then again, I guess kids are all like that. I dunno, I guess I just like being informed of what's going on.

Everyday. Even if it'z only for a couple minutez (which it uzually iz), I alwayz go downztairz when my dad getz home and he uzually haz the newz on.
Apparently, and unfortunately if I do zay zo myzelf, they have Channel One at my school everyday firzt thing in the morningz but I never manage to zpeed enough to get to clazz in time for it. Perzonally I prefere reading the newz paper alot more. It haz a zmall celebrity zection, but other than that there'z far lezz old newz about the ztate of Brittney Spear'z hair or what'z going to happen to Anna Nichole'z poor love child. There'z actual reportz on actual eventz, hurray.

I watch the news occasionally. I listen to news radio occasionally, and I read the newspaper/news websites whenever possible.

I actually dislike watching the news.
I hate to see so many wars and suffering. But the news is useful.

I actually watch the news pretty much everyday (mostly just the top stories, then I'll just change the channel when it starts to get into political issues), I watch it every mourning while getting ready for school though.. just for the sake of something to watch xD..

I try to, just so I can get caught up with what's happening now. Unfortunately, I don't watch very much TV but my Dad has it on everynight, so I can get a glimpse of what's going on sometimes.

I only watch it on school mornings, because that is what my Mom turns on. So I watch it against my free will.

I'll watch it every once in a while, just to see what's going on in the rest of the world, but it's just too depressing. Everything's "Shot, Stabbed, Blown up, raped," or whatever else happens to be going on.

No. I might if I have the TV every once in awhile, but someone always has it (and they don't like the news), and we don't have the luxury of cable TV in every room. So I can't access it 95% of the time.
If I need news, we get the newspaper every day. ._.;

Normally, when someone wakes me up, he/she turns on the Tv with the news. So I watch them just before going to school.

Not because I choose. Because my dad always has it on.

I watch the news when there's nothing on the History Channle, Discovery, etc...I don't like mindless sitcom stuff >__<
And I watch TV a lot, so yes I watch the news a lot lol.
I like to watch Today in the morning :D

Sometimes I do. When I come home from work at the time that it's on, then I watch it while talking to my parents. And because my town/state is kind of weird, the news makes me laugh sometimes. Though, that might be because the news casters can't talk well.
Other than that, I don't watch it. It's too depressing to watch.

Whenever I get on the web which is very often, I always end up at google, and then there's the google headlines for me to browse through the recent events of the day. That serves as the news for me.

I don't mind watching... but I wouldn't intentionally watch.

The only time I actually bother to keep up with it is when my mom's watching it... which, unfortunately, is all of the time. o_o Most of the stuff that they talk about simply does not interest me at all. Every now and then there will be a headline that I'll pay attention to, but other than that, I'll stick to my cartoons. XD; I guess that'll change as I get older.

I try to watch at least a few minutes every day, but lately certain news organizations have become more and more...unprofessional? I guess that describes the incessant, child-like arguing, racial politics, and "star" news the best. So, when it's not the main channels, I'll watch CNN International, which I find pretty entertaining (I know I'm a geek) and just stick to Reuters for anything else as the main outlets really aren't that great anymore.

I rarely watch TV of any sort - so when I'm by myself, I don't watch the news at all (instead, I rely on the internet and/or hearing things in person). However, if someone else is around and already has the news on, then I might sit down and watch it. Otherwise, no.

I used to, but not any more. Because nothing interesting happens nowadays. No crime, no new discoveries, no fascinating news, nothing. Only political issues that get more and more boring by the milisecond.

Sometimes, I don't usually switch the news channel on, it's my parents that do.

I watch it when I have nothing else to do (my parents watch them every time they're on tv..) or if I accidentally have one of my: ˝I wanna know what's happening in the world˝ phases xD

Many times whenever I happen to be watching TV news, I sometimes end up turning the TV off altogether as there's usually always something to annoy me to %)()%^(*! (such as hounding about some dead celebrity, child or no-talent idiot, or some new government intrusion into our lives-the lattest of which the media usually supports such anyway (http://www.lewrockwell.com/browne/browne59.html).)

I don't really watch the news, unless someone else is watching it, and I'm hangin' with them.
Other than that, I don't really watch television at all. Not even Pokemon :( (Then again, I never really was into the AG seasons, so that might be why)
