Am I alone in severely disliking the way tv news broadcasts have changed, including the BBC and ITV? I can't stand all the exaggeration and opinion that gets into the headline reports these days. Those who write the autocue scripts seem to think they are constructing plots for EastEnders.
Does anyone else think that the stories covered are getting dafter, too? In 2003, Sky interrupted their regular schedule with the "urgent breaking news" that former footballer George Best had been sat in a pub for a few hours one afternoon...unsurprising, as he had an alcohol habit for over 30 years. They sent out a crew of reporters and broadcast live from outside the pub. I kid you not.
Just simply read the news, newscasters, you are not Jeremy Sodding Kyle.
Anyone with me? What say you?
