Ask HN: Do you still watch the news?
I was wondering today, how much longer are news shows going to last? I would assume that a lot of people especially in this generation would rather just Google something and read an article rather than watch the news.
- staunch 15y agoLast time I watched for more than 5 minutes: 6AM September 11, 2001
- mrkmcknz 15y agoI watch the news at 10 every night here in the UK while I'm getting ready to call it a day.
- GoofyGewber 15y agoI used to do that every night, but now I lay in bed and just read articles on my tablet.
- cdvonstinkpot 15y agoI don't even remember what year it was that I ditched T.V. entirely. Was way before it went digital. Nope, no news on T.V. For me.
- GoofyGewber 15y agoYeah, as soon as i'm done with school I'm just going to have internet, with Netflix and other services. Land lines and Cable are a waste of money.
- robotripping 15y agoRachel Maddow if my roommate is watching it. Otherwise nope.
- theorique 15y agoNo. I use a TV connected to a Mac Mini to watch Netflix and other video sources (documentary, comedy, etc). I don't have cable TV. I get news via web search and twitter.
- SpikeDad 15y agoSure. All the time. I enjoy watching news commentary on MSNBC. It's a kick to see exposed all of the despicable right-wing activities. If I want news FACTS, I stick to the NY Times, however.
- housewife 15y agoSure, you CAN just google whatever you want, but I don't think you always know what article you want to read... I don't watch the news, but I listen to CBC like an addict, and it's really because I never know what I'm going to hear. There are always new little "gems" worth hearing that it never even occurred to me "google".
