Many of you read the news as well as watch it on television. Does television news provide you with substantive information, compared to or in addition to what you read? Or is it purely for your entertainment?

Not a leading question, I swear. I've always been a "gopher" who sifts Internet reporting daily, so television news rarely offers me anything I haven't already seen, in a format that is difficult to return to when I need it. But it takes time that many of you don't have, so I'm not criticizing your choices. I'd just like to hear how you get your news and what it means to you. Thanks in advance.
