Do you watch the news or read a newspaper?

I have found myself addicted to the news ( on TV )
But I never read the paper.

I watch the news on 3 if I happen to be watching TV of the time of it being on otherwise I'm on News Sites most of the day at work reading whats going on around the world and here in NZ.

If I have a paper I'll read that aswell.

I like knowing what's going on around me so yeh...
