I don't watch television news.
It's too slow, too shallow, and tends to cover only the most popular of topics (ie: kitten in a tree scenarios).
I prefer on-line print news. In a 15-minute span, I can read a 7-10 page article that covers a topic in depth. And in the process, highlight interesting back-story information for later searches in other browser tabs.
And I can check out other sources for the same topic to see if *ALL* the information was actually covered.
