I have stopped watching the news on Tv for the last 2 years, like you imply it’s all lies to control a scared society that can’t think for itself…….

Just glad I’m out of it all!

I didn't realise they had Boris on that much. I thought he was too good at hiding when things got sticky.

I watch little TV news nowadays. It’s not news anymore, thanks to social media, it’s just a repeat of what we already know.

Haha AL. How long did it take you to type that lot up?!  :lol:

Totally agree. I watch GB news now and then and have talkradio on a bit but even that is now grating on me and grinding me down a bit so i might take your advice and swerve all news.

Interestingly i did read an article about this, can't remember if it was on spiked or conservative woman and it was basically saying that anyone who had ignored the news since Covid would be in a much better state and less stressed than everyone else.

So in effect, carry on living your life as though it was the 70's and everything is ok.

Btw, you forget Meghan & Harry lol

Sick of hearing about those two freaks too.

I remember when the news was factual and accurate and reported facts

The news now is biased and opinionated, pro woke, selective, deliberately directed at in vogue subjects that suit agendas

Newspapers are the same. They are full of tripe and dollop with stories about supposed celebrities who are non celebrities and their opinions and how their love lives are sxxt and it’s giving them mental health issues

I’m fed up of sad sad stories of celebrities taking time off for personal reasons or because they’re broken hearted because they’ve had a relationship break up or their bins weren’t

Who cares. They should be grateful they’ve got the money to take time off unlike the average working man and woman who has to muddle on through to pay the bills

Most of the new TV is crap. It’s either totally unrealistic or total so inclusive there’s no story or it’s more important than the story

Colin I think that Meghan is someone we should have heard more about recently.   

Massive weeks and weeks about how she had to leave the country because everyone hated her

Hardly made the news that she’s been found out as a liar (sorry she was forgetful). I wonder what else she was economical with the truth about.  (Sorry she forgot the whole story)

There has never been more ways of consuming the news.

Newspapers, radio, TV, web services. There is every kind of news and many outlets that will pander to whatever prejudices you hold.

You can listen to Talk Radio, watch Russian state backed TV, read The Mail whatever you like.

Turn off, choose to be uninformed if you will. Ignorance is bliss.

Better to be uninformed than misinformed.

Better to be uninformed than misinformed.

More than ever we are required to apply critical analysis to what we are presented with. Some are more adept than others at this.

My Mum is constantly worried about severe bad weather and snow because her phone keeps alerting her to exaggerated reports from the Mirror and Express that a deep freeze is just around the corner.

I know it's frustrating for some.

I wasn't really referring to the weather forecast or any other non-political analysis for that matter.

It was just an example.

Certain sections of the media will play up an issue because they know it sells. The prospect of bad weather frightens many older people, so they promote stories about it.

It might be royalty that sells, it might be celebrities 'caught' wearing few clothes. It might be Rupert Murdochs fury at the BBC eating his lunch and the campaign he wages against it.
