Have you been watching the news significantly more lately?
I always watch the news when I can. Need to know what's going on in the world you know.
I have, it seems these natural disasters are a bit more abundant than I ever thought
definitely. i think that came with my growing up and my realization that breaking news occurs all too often not to make sure you're aware of it. its nice to know whats going on around you instead of being absolutely clueless on what your own society has been dealing with.
I try not to watch the news because of how much negativity in the world that the news shows. Yes it is being ignorant I guess you could say; but its very upsetting to watch.
No -- but then, I've always had my "news watchdog" out there (i.e. husband) who spends a couple of hours a day trolling the online news channels. He gives me the condensed version of anything important going on in the world.
Much less, because I am not that interested in Charlie Scheen or Japan.
Much more. Every morning I'm frightened more tragedy will have befallen Japan.
yeah, i want to be up to date with the latest news around the globe
I only watch the news if somebody tells me something big has happened. I don't buy news papers either.
Call me ignorant but ignorance is bliss.
Very much. It's because of the threat that we received saying that we will be experiencing chemical mixed rainfall due to nuclear problem from Japan.
Why would i subject myself to information that is not really news?
It is just what the corporate sponsors want you to hear.The information systematically leads you into a deep trans.
In the past month I've written more then I have in the past 6 months! I do this for fun and thats all!
I always watch the news, but not just the mainstream news I watch the independents as well because I don't always believe what we're shown or told.

Does watching TV relieve stress or adds to stress?Does watching TV relieve stress or adds to stress? What is the medical opinion on it? In my opinion, watching TV after a day's hard work relieves stress.

The point. Personally I do not watch the news I just listen to other people and look to my friends online for the facts. Well the facts are American media is run by the world mob and they are attempting to create a rift between the citizen and the police. So the media is all about how a cop killed...

I have been watching American Idol off and on this year, and I think the only thing I like is that Ellen is on. But, she isn't as much fun as I hoped she would be, but she does have her moments. The rest has just been kind of boring.There isn't anyone in this group to get that excited about. I...
