I can't think of a circumstance when it would matter.
"Your son was involved in a fatal traffic accident. ...By the way, the dog? Chips? He's fine."
hmm...Nope.

I always want to hear the bad news first... but I've noticed when people state this.. ''I have good news and bad news which do you want first''.. it always turns out that the Bad news is absolutely terrible..and the good is *Meh*... Your granny was killed by a motorcyclist... she was dragged under the bus.... there's nothing left to bury... The Good news... she left you her slippers in her will...

These days in my area I would like to hear the "news", instead
of constant sports talk....I am very surprised that it has gotten
so prevalent on our 4 local stations...I've pretty much stopped
watching, just go to the web sites for the real news.....

Bad news first for me... if I'd choose good first, I really wouldn't be able to enjoy it because I'd be wondering what the bad was that's coming.

I wouldn't care. Just give me news in the order in which it occurred. News is news, good or bad.

A guy living in Texas has had a really sore leg for months. He finally goes to the doctor and the doctor puts him in the hospital so they can do more tests. The Doctor calls in a surgeon who tells the patient, "I'll have to put you to sleep and do some exploratory surgery on your leg." The patient says, "OK, let's just get it done."
The patient finally wakes up and the surgeon is standing over the bed and the patient asks, "Well, how did I do and what did you find?" The surgeon says "Well, I have some good news and some bad news, which do you want to hear first?" The patient tells the surgeon he better tell him the bad news first, so that way the good news will cheer him up.
The surgeon says, "Well, we had to cut off your left leg, but the guy up in room 211 says he will buy your boots."
