× I watch these news daily.
✓ I watch this news daily.
The word 'news' is an uncountable noun and should be treated as singular. Using 'these' implies plural, which is incorrect here. The correct determiner is 'this' for uncountable nouns.
× I just sit with him and watch news.
✓ I just sit with him and watch the news.
When referring to news in general, the definite article 'the' is used before 'news' to specify the content being watched.
× I read news via YouTube.
✓ I read the news via YouTube.
Similar to the previous correction, 'the' is needed before 'news' to indicate specific information being read.
× I think I have. I didn't have a skill set for being a journalist because it requires a lot of like confidence and communication skills, which I like usually, and I'm not really interested be a journalist.
✓ I think I don't have the skill set for being a journalist because it requires a lot of confidence and communication skills, which I usually don't have, and I'm not really interested in being a journalist.
The original sentence has fragmented and unclear structure. 'I think I have.' is incomplete. 'I didn't have' should be present tense 'I don't have' to match the current context. 'like' is incorrectly used instead of 'don't have'. Also, 'interested be a journalist' should be 'interested in being a journalist' to use the correct preposition and gerund form.
× I have to rush to office and therefore I just missed news this morning.
✓ I had to rush to the office and therefore I just missed the news this morning.
Since the action happened in the past, 'have' should be 'had'. Also, 'office' requires the definite article 'the'. 'news' should be preceded by 'the' as it refers to specific news.
× We often discuss about the news if the commonest topic and of their interest and they usually discuss with me about stock market and changes in environment and weather changes.
✓ We often discuss the news if it is a common topic and of their interest, and they usually discuss with me the stock market and changes in the environment and weather changes.
The verb 'discuss' does not require the preposition 'about'. Also, 'commonest' is incorrect here; 'common' is appropriate. 'Changes in environment' needs the definite article 'the' before 'environment'. The sentence is restructured for clarity and correctness.
