I watch my local news every afternoon, I like to know what's happening around my area, and see what the meteorologist have to say about the weather.

No, I just stick to the BBC and the Economist. My local news is pretty dull.

For my tastes the negative, depressing stories far outnumber the cheery, positive ones.
If I wanted to feel sad I'd turn on Animal Cops or a movie.

Our local news is lame, I don't watch it.

I tend to watch it sometimes. I live on the East coast and I'm always watching during the winter months.

The gym I go to has the news on in the morning and it's usually a local channel so I'll watch some of it there, but otherwise I don't watch the news much at all.

I watch it every day I don't know why, it is so depressing sometimes.

I watch it when I can. Detroit always has something crazy going on.
Plus, as a storyteller for a live action role-playing game, I can get so many good stories by using real world news as a source.

I try not to. Nothing good on the news. 25 minutes of depressing news, followed by 5 minutes of feel good stories.

yep

It's interesting because I only recently started paying attention to my news viewing habits. It seems that I mostly turn on the news when I'm feeling like the world is a bitter, hostile place to be a part of and the top headlines for the area usually confirm my feelings at the time. Our news is mostly murder, rape, robberies, shoot-outs involving police officers and cheating scandals; the likes of which range from accredited schools and officials cheating students out of a real education or someone with celebrity status cheating on their personal relationships.

I don't watch any news. I know too much about how it's made.

I don't. Which is a shame, because the newscaster on there is often called the Ron Burgundy of the South. But if there's something of note, I'll most likely hear about it in conversation, which takes away the necessity of watching it.

I rarely watch news. Most of it is just depressing.

We watch it in the morning while getting ready for work to know the weather & traffic.

I can't stand the/our local news. The ol' "if it bleeds it leads", fluff, 20-second sound bites (no elaboration), endless ads, weather and sports that take up half the time (rolling my eyes).
I follow world/US news on the web via Reuters, AP, NPR, NYT, etc. as well as local headlines from our paper's website.
