who here is a news addict and why?

I am. How can we vote for the right politicians or make this world a better place if we don't know what's happening in the world? I am addicted because I want to help and I want to be well-informed on election day.

Sensationalism is the media displaying characteristics of a drama queen.   Like, now that the news actually advertises -- and 20 minutes before a news broadcast, the anchor person comes on with a little tease and then says "YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT !!!"   I hate that.  It's the news.  And unless they are out and out lying, I'll probably believe at least some of it.

This is an easy one for me! I don't watch the news,because it makes me sad and it is also too over dramatized anyway.Same things over and over again,so I just don't watch. I read the paper and read what I want to,usually the comics!People say,"You NEED to watch the news!" I say,"No I really don't!" \nOther than this,I try to live each day to its fullest,enjoying the beauty instead of focusing on the ugly side of life. I try to have a positive perspective. And I always do one nice thing for someone every day. That makes me feel good about myself,and makes the other person feel special,if only for a moment.\nSome people may take this as,I'm living in my own little world,that's not it at all. I just prefer to be more positive than negative. You could say I tend to look at the sunny side of life!

The morning news. I have a radio that also plays the local TV channels (2-13). It keeps my mind occupied co I don't get bored with the walk. And, I find out what is going on in the world.

I can honestly and happily say, NO. I can't stand reality t.v. Real life is enough for me. Aside from the news, I like my television (what little bit I watch) to be fiction, thanks.

Yes. I am. I can stop but I have to visit it everyday in order to live. It is very informative and interesting: not just the average waste of time! I am addicted for getting points...

Yes, since the very beginning. It's actually become an obsession and I fear that I am turning into one of those "Treckie" kind of people that I used to make fun of! I've joined the fan club, monitor the chat rooms, and find everyday occurances relating to Lost all the time. Did you know that at the Super Bowl, the announcers commented that there was 108 new footballs that would be used that day? Freaked me out! In a rerun of an old Roseanne show last week, Roseanne won 108 million dollars in the lottery! Scares me! lol  Loved the reference to Stephen King in last night's show. When I find people who are into it as much as I am (and there are few that I actually know) I get so into analyzing theories and even research them online! The show is just so different then anything else on TV and has such a smart, intriguing, unpredictable plot! I never saw the theatrical makeup discovery coming! So many more questions now!

ummm MOST DEFINITELY!!!  hubby is home on medical and is more agitated than he's ever been in his whole life...he used to just read the paper, but now he watches the news through the day and there's usually some new issue he's wound up about.  no wonder most of us americans are depressed.  ugh!

Dont.  Life needs the rumor mongers. How else will the rest of us get the news that we were not supposed to know? LOL.

Yes sometimes we need just to turn to another channel and not watch any news at all or just turn off the TV altogether and listen to relaxing music.  The media likes to hype and harp on things to try to work us up into a frenzy.  That's how they make their salary.
