Do you watch the news? If so what is your favorite part and least favorite part? I like the current events to see what new has been going on around me while I lock myself inside. And my least favorite part would definitly have to be the sports! How about you??

I watch news several times a day. I like all the news sections except for the stupid clips from around the country. Sheep leading sheep, and the like.

I love to know whats going around in the world. I think you misunderstood. What I dislike is a trivia section we have here. They give airtime to trivia that would be better in a different program. Like for instance they showed a sheep that they would use to make the other sheep follow back home. That to me is not news. It would be ok, though boring, in a documentary about the sheep.

Actually I have stopped watching the news lately because it is so scewed and biased. None of the major news outlets of real jounalism anymore, I don't know if they ever did. I've been relying more and more on the internet. Thanks

Hi Amanda, I usually watch news twice a day. One is in the morning after getting up and the other is in the late evening. I like watching the latest news about my country especially those related to the politics, followed by news about local and foreign sports. Of course nowadays news about the coming summer Olympic game is very attractive and interesting, as well as the introduction of the grand occasion of the open ceremony on the 8th of August. I do like watching news about some popular celebrities occasionally. posting and take care.

Hello Amanda. I love to watch news on TV, but my favorite part is the news at home and abroad. I also love to read news on the newspapers...

Yeah, I like to watch the news and if I'm not at work, I really spare time to watch the news on TV especially during dinner time. I like to watch the first part (locally that is. It might be different in other countries) which are usually important events. The least part I like is probably showbiz.

I have not "watched" the news in a long time. because I do not have a TV at home. I tend to ead the news on line, or listen to it on the BBC World Service at night.

I watch the local news up until the weather, then when that's over I turn it off. For one thing sports comes next and I could care less about that, and also the important stuff is at the beginning. I rarely watch national news because I get that online. I have Yahoo email and I get the major headlines every time I check my email.

Yeah I don't like the sports and weather can be nice sometimes when you have kids and need to dress them to the weather. I mostly watch it during winter.

I watch the news, and I like every part of it, because I think all of it is valuable information in the future. And some would be useful in game shows. Heehee. But with all the political turmoil in my country, I've grown fond of watching news lately. It's like a big soap opera.

I like the news but sometimes it can get annoying when they repeat the same story 80 times in one week.
