Why do you watch the news? You would benefit more from never listening to the news. Why? Next time you watch, hear or read the news as yourself, 'is there anything about what i am hearing that is actually good? You are in effect being scared into spending money and being controlled. Do you really want to fill your mind with when the next terrorist is going to strike and where? Why would you want to live with the constant fear that you may get blown up at any second? Wouldn't you rather be free from that extra worry? IF THE STORY IS BIG ENOUGH, YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT IT!

I am not living in fear of being blown up I live in a small town in the UK that isn't important enough to be blown up
I watch the news just to keep up to date with whats going on in the world, I think everyone should
Ignorance is bliss but knowledge is power.

I like to watch to see how many mistakes my regional STV North Tonight makes when they are on air. I find it hilarious. The presenters are always so good natured and cover up the boobs made by the back room boys.... like the professionals there are.
I also like to watch the evening news as I need to keep in touch with the world and what is happening to my fellow human beings. Whilst many of the news items can be dismissed as plugging the gaps so to speak I think that we have an excellent news service in the UK with the broadcaster working hard and making every effort to ensure what they report is accurate and delivered with panache.
Well done all of you that bring us new reports from all over the globe. Many reports delivered in face of great odds and personal danger to themselves and the crews.
PS I also like listening to Chris Evans....his programme on Radio 2 is like a news cast in it's self.

I don't watch the news because I am looking for the next terror attack. I won't watch channels like Fox News because they break in with some story about a firecracker going off and then say "We don't know if this is linked to Al-Queda or not. There are no deaths reported as of this time." I watch my local news because I want to know what is happening in my community. I watch national news to know what is going on in my country.
People who don't watch the news, don't care what happens in their world or their corner of the world.

To stay informed...curious about what's going on with what I heard about last time I watched...just like any other show...once you get into the news...you want to follow it...also sometimes there are issues a person may be interested in or involved in and the news can be useful.
All the stuff about worrying about terroism or whatever...well sometimes you turn off the tv and get on with your life...but not knowing about it won't make it go away...it's my world, I want to know what's going on in it.

because I like to know whats happening. I also read the paper every day. It helps when you need something to talk about even silly stories. like yesterdays there was a seagull that robs a shop in scotland everyday and steals a packet of chilli doritos and goes back outside to share with his friends. cctv footage was supplied in case you think it as made up.

I prefer watching the news, rather than reading or hearing coz they bring news instantly or live of the events.
