Yeah, it's good to not rely on just one source so that you can get the full story instead of one perspective. Seems too many people don't keep up on the news or only get one sided views and bias or make up excuses not to watch the news.I can’t imagine not watching and/or reading the news and being ignorant of what is happening. I watch a variety of stations to get a more balanced view. However, I don’t overload either because that’s unhealthy. Personally I feel that if you don’t either read or watch the news there’s no way you can be an educated voter.
I only watch an average about 20 minutes of national news and 15 minutes of local news per day and skip commercials or news stories I'm not interested in.
But I keep up with the news through multiple online sources as well, which varies a lot rather than a set schedule.
