Poll doesn't have my option either, but not a problem
I don't have a TV so news is either by paper or by radio. If I don't get off the hill in the day I don't get a paper. Use BBC Radio 4 and for papers it's the Herald or Telegraph, but to be honest, I've spent time away where you can't get any news, and I spent years not caring about the news. Guess what, life moved on and if I didn't know what was happening, nothing bad happened anyway. [huh] But, I do now hear news at least daily, and overall the media is so concerned with turning every little thing into news, there isn't really much news out there that's seriously worth listening to. Just a little cynic with a sceptical surround sound system...or vice versa

NPR is all I listen to. I get the Wall Street Journal but I rarely read it. [huh]

I stopped watching evening news. It's all "Someone got shot again in that neighborhood where all the cute old houses are." (my neighborhood)

I watch morning news long enough to get the weather and traffic reports. I've managed to break my NYTimes Online habit for similar reasons. When imprortant things happen I search the 'net for info though.

Never thought about this...

until now. I read the local paper - for local goings-on and (inevitably) the obituaries. NPR for a broader perspective on the world on my way to work. Wall Street Journal and USA Today when I travel - cause they're usually free. Local and national TV news every night as I start the cocktail hour(s). [And, because our TV weatherman has an awesome tie collection.] I check the internet news off and on during the day in my office.

Gee, I think that all qualifies me as a junkie.

Does "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" count?

Yeah, where is THAT choice?

I cannot stand to watch the news, it sickens me (not the information itself, but the methods and underlying motives of it all). And when I do catch it, I can find nothing truly 'newsworthy' being reported.

My combination isn't there but it's morning paper and just a very little bit of TV. The web-based news is pure garbage written by the worst composers of sentences in existence! It is pure fluff and totally superfluous and completely without merit.

I don't read every story in the paper, only those I choose to. The morning "fun" news-ish shows are semi-tolerable. I will not sit through national or local TV news "shows." They are complete downers full of negative crap that give viewers false perspectives of things.
