Subject #1 said he watches cable TV and discovery channel a lot. He especially likes watching Fox News and random documentaries, like on Bigfoot. He really watches news for serious weather events (while I won't say who this is, he called me 20 times to make sure I was safe in my dorm Monday during the storm).
He emphasized highly that his views on TV news has changed drastically. Whatever was being reported had an effect on his thinking because they broadcast the news, whether negative or positive, He reported that he noticed a trend of bias in cable and print news which he thinks is because of the editors and owners views. He also believes network TV is more heartfelt and for the viewers.
Subject #2 doesn't watch network or cable news but instead gets things off the internet. When at work he browses his phone and can see weather, news, and other info. Since he doesn't really watch cable or network TV, he doesn't really have an attitude towards it. It's just kind of unnecessary to him.
It's funny to me how these two subjects are a generation ahead and both respond differently. Subject 1 watches TV more frequently but it isn't what someone in my generation would say. I have personally watched him watch the news and he responds to controversial issues that seem propagandized.
