I often will. Sometimes I think it's the only way to find out what is going on besides what some team owner said in the privacy of his own home, or if Hillary is going to run in 2016.

Also tired of the 'selective news' for ratings gain. Or news that is buried because it is politically incorrect.
Yes, but where is the poll? Add one

That is certainly the case in many countries and they ARE working on making it the case in the USA.
It will be in the "fine print" of some Omnibus Bill that nobody bothers to read.

I considered it, but decided no. I'd rather get more input than just; yes or no.

Yes I do at least once a day and if one has a Twitter account it makes even easier to follow different overseas news sources.
