Check out the detailed poll above, and pick out which one represents how much TV news you watch. Does anyone here besides me watch local/national news on TV? By local, I mean your basic local CBS/ABC/NBC stations (for example: News 2....NewsCenter 4....Eyewitness News 5). National being ABC/CBS/NBC national evening news, CNN, MSNBC, ****....and then there is Fox News (the conservatives' favorite biased choice). The reason I'm asking is to get a feel for how the younger crowd feels about TV news. People (and surveys) say that the younger crowd (18-27) doesn't care about the news as much as the older crowd does. I brought this up with our News Director, trying to persuade him to either re-work our newscasts to appeal to the folks from my generation, OR create ONE newscast that would air the news that is relevent to our lives. State your pleasure negroes.

I watch the local 5:00 (pm) news on NBC every day. If I miss the 5:00 news, then I make sure to watch the 11:00 news, and I watch CNN occassionally.

I watch more national news than local news....but I watch the local news enough where I could tell you whats going on around here. I like the National news like CNN, MSNBC, etc...cause I like to hear what else is going on in the country and world.

nope, you're suppose to balance your news...for example, i listen to NPR from 7 am to 9am, then i listen to rush & genn beck from 9 to 3....and i fisnish it off with jon stewart and ted koppel at night...maybe sprinkled in with a little fox news... now i know you're sayig that you don't have all of that time to watch news, but unlike you, i don't have a life. a simple way for you to balance how you recieve information is to listen to the rush **** program on your local AM radio dial weekdays from noon to 3... or go to http://www.rushlimbaugh.com ... does anyone else besides me love the drudge report?
