Where do you get your news from?

[Metabo Oyaji 71]

Have a nagging feeling this has been done before, but couldn't find it. (Actually, I think that may have only been for English news.) Anyway, multiple choices allowed.

[muikabochi 208]

Often find myself watching the NHK 9 o-clock news or Hodo Station on tv and read scan over some main news sites (guardian, telegraph) from home.

The bloke doing the NHK 9 o clock does a great job I reckon. He's from Niigata as well, Teradomari actually.

 

Hardly ever watch BBC World or CNN now. They're just rubbish really aren't they.

Shall we use the newspaper question "Other" as meaning "none" - I bet that's most people and we need to vote in each question.

That's what I did anyway.

I just watch a bit of Japanese news and read stuff online.

[Metabo Oyaji 71]

I added a "None" option. I think you can go back and edit your vote, if you want.

[ippy 66]

this is odd, wheres the dailyshow?

[Metabo Oyaji 71]

dailyshow?

 

Ah, Jon Stewart. I guess that would be TV: Other.

Not many newspaper readers so far.

[SnowJapan 178]

I thought that all the important news was to be found here

[Metabo Oyaji 71]

But of course! That is why I included a SnowJapan option! (Well, that thread and the Now reports.)

Yeah, I'll usually watch NHK 9:00 and/or Hodo Station.

He is good, I like him.

 

Also really liked Mizuno, the genpatsu-setsumei dude from last year. Don't see much of him these days, unfortunately.

Yeah, don't have much use for them.

 

But, what I really like is the physical newspaper in the morning.

Perhaps that makes me a bit of a , but somehow even reading the exact same story on the net is just not as satisfying.

I have a look through my g/f's Japanese paper but that's about it.

Otherwise, it's online stuff. But I try not to get to filled up with "news".

[7-11 2]

I must admit, I don't get much news.

 

Every now and again I will watch the NHK news, but it's probably once or twice a week.

 

And that's it. I don't want to be loaded down with it all and I feel lighter because of it.

[Chriselle 158]

NHK 7:00 bilingual ... for the sole reason to get more irritated to cap off a long frustrating day... Those chicks doing the translating need a slap... the dude's not too bad.

 

Oh, and my continued NHK discontent fuels my tirades at the unsuspecting NHK funds collectors..

Asahi is quite pleasant as well.

And, she is named after beer.

I don't know how you can cope with that.

I'd rather only understand it about 75% than listen to those gratingly annoying US-style voiceovers.

[Chriselle 158]

It's my twisted pleasure... My wife gets mad at me ...yelling at the TV. The two women announcers are always getting hung up mid sentence which I find both amusing and infuriating. The sports translations are the best..... "Giants over Orix 3 scores to one".......scores??

I've been out drinking with that guy a couple of times.......his wife is smoking!!!

[pie-eater 207]

I make mine up. Which is probably what most news outlets do anyway.

 

Oh but ever so seriously. I often seem to catch Hodou Station or whatever it's called at 10pm. Even though I find the man somewhat irritating and over-dramatic.

And I read a few of the main UK news websites.

[SKI 15]

I often end up watching one of the news programs that comes on around 11pm.

Not keen on the 9:53pm Hodo Station dude either, Mr NHK much better.

I know someone who lives in the country and works from home and basically doesn't watch any news.

It doesn't seem to cause him too many problems.

In fact, I'd probably say he is one of the people I know enjoying his lifestyle most.

[tokabochi 9]

I remember when I first got CNN and BBC on Sky. Loved it! But very quickly got bored by it and I almost never put it on now.

I wish we could have Fox News - for the comedy value of course.

[Tubby Beaver 209]

I've noticed that cable now has CNN-US as well as CNN-j.....so you can still get semi comedy value sensational news

[muikabochi 208]

If I recall correctly, the CNN-US one is one you need to pay for extra, or was that CNN hd?

Can't remember

[Tubby Beaver 209]

we've had it added for free. The apartment building I live in has a deal with the cable company and we all get cable for slightly cheaper
