I have a bad news vs I have bad news

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'I have bad news' is the correct and commonly used phrase to inform someone about something negative. On the other hand, 'I have a bad news' is incorrect because 'news' is an uncountable noun and does not require an article before it.
