Do you listen or watch the news?

[blessedintrovert]

It is getting to the point where I refuse to listen or watch it because it takes my joy and makes me mad.

 

[Hieronymus]

It's often a pack of misleading half truths anyway.

 

[Monk Brendan]

It is getting to the point where I refuse to listen or watch it because it takes my joy and makes me mad.

I find things to pray about during the news, especially local news.

 

[.Mikha'el.]

I get all my news online.

 

[Strathos]

I only read news articles online, from many different sources.

 

[Stranger36147]

The news is depressing.

 

[blackribbon]

I hate being lied to. I can't watch the news anymore.

 

[morse86]

No, most (if not all) of the national news is actually fake (there's no law that they have to tell you the truth).


Satan tried to tempt Jesus by offering all of the kingdoms....that tells me ALL...yes, ALL.....ALL of the kingdoms are manipulated or controlled by Satan for the time being. Satan hates mankind and he absolutely hates Christians, he has various devices and traps to trip them and cause roadblocks among them.

The national news belongs to Satan.

Matthew 4:8-9:
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

2 Corinthians 2:11:
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices

Jesus gave us a great commission, it was not in uselesssss politics.

 

[( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

i have certain sources that i go to (depending on the nature of the topics). but even then i'm an independent thinker and sift everything with the truth of what I know from the Bible. the news is still news if you skip the commentators hyperbole.

 

[Pomegranate]

I do watch the news before work, it's interesting to see what they consider worthy of reporting.

 

[timewerx]

I watch the flood news so I'm informed whether the road I'm taking is flooded.

 

[trophy33]

No, I stopped watching/listening/reading the news.

Its all negative, "click-bait", half-truth stories full of injuries, death, natural disasters, crime and perversions. There is no need for a Christian to fill himself with it.

I also stopped watching events in politics.

My life has much more joy, much less worries and my mind is more clean and simpler.

 

[gerbilwoman]

I sometimes read the news online as I try to be an informed voter.

 

[JAM2b]

I have a tendency to avoid it, except for local news reports. I read them online instead of watching.

I do watch 20/20, but watch it on hulu and I'm selective about which episodes I will watch.

 

[FaithLife1]

I mostly get my news from Fox News, but sometimes I look at other news outlets.

 

[quietpraiyze]

I watch local news, so I can know what's going on around me. Sometimes I'll watch national news but when politics come on I change the channel. I have an online site that's been pretty accurate politically and I'll read there from time to time....

 

[JAM2b]

I wanted to add that I have a subscription to Newspapers.com It is a ton of newspapers, from all over the country, archived. But I'm selective about which articles I read. I mostly do it for research for my writing and family history.

 

[kittysbecute]

I don’t really watch or listen to the news in general. Occasionally I do. And if I hear about something I might look up news on it. I also read some news. I like reading local news.

 

[Miles]

I follow the news to stay informed. Even if the reporting leaves something to be desired, I'll have a better idea of what people are talking about at work. Some of it also impacts my life. Politics and the weather, for instance.

It is getting to the point where I refuse to listen or watch it because it takes my joy and makes me mad.

I primarily read the news. I start with my local area then check the news for my state, then I read national and international news stories.
For national and international events I like to read multiple sources and always try to stay away from op-ed pieces.
I rarely listen to the news (unless a traffic report when going into a city). I find most broadcast news is full of spin (left and right) and it just irritates me.
I don't have TV (no desire for it) so any news I listen to (beyond an internet video or site) will be the radio.
