Watching the News

[Uncle Mort]

I don't anymore.

[Barman]

I don't anymore.

Very wise... I haven't watched the news on the tellybox for years... 

[Nick]

It's all so depressing and predictable. I still find Channel 4 News OK, but the BBC bulletins seem more and more superficial

I still watch the Beeb and Sky News but yes it has become somewhat superficial and at the same time only able to cover a very few stories.  I get more news from a 3 minute scan through the BBC text pages than the actual news programme the telebox might be showing at same time

But was it ever any different?  I suspect not, we're just comparing it to the hundreds of news stories we can access via the web.

What I do know is if you think Beeb News is bad, try watching the News in other countries.  Advert ridden, lowest common denominator seeking rubbish.  And as for web site news, so much is barely disguised politicaling on behalf of the owners.

I find the BBC absolutely infuriating at the moment  and refuse the watch their prescribed format

Headline - doom mongering, the end of the world is nigh relishing delight

Cut to - yet another hospital where they are reporting from ( this varies from all the other hospitals they have been to how ??? )

Spare some time to include the Laura Kueunssberg lovefest 

Any other news going on in the world - nope ( apart from Trumpety trump trump trump)

Last item  - some token do gooder and their message of hope/ charity / kindness ( ah feck right off will ya !! )
