You have to make it more clear, is it bad news or really bad news?
If it is common bad news like "Hey I just put a dent in your car when I borrowed it" or "I can`t make it to your birthday party because I just got influenza" then just tell them straight forward how it is. If some loved one is terminally ill or a beloved pet died, you obviously have to be considerate and try to ease it in by starting a normal conversation and then gently lead to it and not be like "Hey by the way your dog just died".

First if they are not with you, we need to talk, hey I'm coming over, I have to tell you something. From there... Be blunt. You can have an intro but get to the point.
I recently had this with a girl that wanted to have kids, I had to tell her about my vasectomy. I said listen we need to talk, the kid thing, I'm sorry to say, but I don't want kids. And that was all it took to get started.
depends on what it is. "you didn't get the job" vs "your grandpa died" are two very different bad news...

You get them in a good mood first, and then time it correctly. Obviously this all depends on the news itself. Are we talking about something such as a friend or relative passing away? Are we taking about getting losing a job? There are different ways but I would try to get them in a more receptive mood so that the bad news doesn’t hit so hard.
I just tell them. When my father died I was the first to know and had to call everyone. I just straight out told them what happened with just a few details. It was a horror show for sure
It depends on how bad the news is. If it's really bad, I'll do it face to face and as gently as possible
Ya just directly don’t sugar coat it and tell the person if they need me that I’ll be there for them
In person or on the phone, just say you have something important to tell them
I'm straight to the point. No point being wishy washy about it.
there is no good way, you just come right out and tell them
Politely and directly.
With my pants off. It lightens the news.
Would say the good news and the bad news
straight up; face to face
That depends on the news.
It's hard face to face normal best
It's best just to get it over with.
Just tell em
Carefully.
