I watch the news all the time. I follow mostly news agencies on my Twitter account.

I am addicted to the news. I only watch CNN, Fox News, and local news.

These days i just watch the local news on the TV, and read what I care too off the Internet. In both cases a good news source is hard to find these days. When one source completely contradicts the other you know one or both of them are lying and that is a frustrating thing.

Some times I feel like the news reporters/anchors are talking to me or looking at me and it leaves me uneasy.

I often think that the people on tv are giving me nonverbal messages over the air. I try not to go too far with it. I could end up back in the hospital and on a typical ap if I let that idea carry me away.

I can’t watch them because they are very stupid, I’m still unsure if journalists are worse than politicians…

I watch the local news channel, but for short periods. I find the material and anchors to be corny

I don’t watch the news. They’re boring, and mostly about politics, sports or war…

I do read news about science, space, and things that are relevant to my education.

I never read the news. It’s harmful for me.

I only glimpse at it online anymore. I found it to be sensationalism, dealing with extreme situations or people, lots of arguing and gossip. I used to watch and read it a lot but I found it messed with my sense of reality rather than enhancing it. I used to check different sources and they had different slants so it really wasn’t helpful, can be depressing and scary for me really.

I’ve been intermittently addicted to news, but nowadays it seems like everything is in a constant state of crisis and so I’m thinking of tuning out. It’s hard though not to look, like a train wreck.

I can’t stand live TV. My poor parents are sitting in a silent living room because of it now, even though I say it’s OK to turn up the volume when I’m not there.

I feel guilty because of this stupid disorder.

I can’t watch the news. It just gets me down and it also makes me delusional. So, I don’t watch it. Haven’t watched the news in 6 and a half years now.
