The BBC go all the way to america just to report that it's cold and there is a lot of snow and it's knocking down trees, ITV go to antarctica look at a piece of ice falling off an iceberg and declare that it's, 'because of global warming' and not because it's melting as its summer down there, and that it will just freeze over when it's winter again. Then donating 10 minutes to reporting that princess anne's dog has bitten someone, or horizon asking, 'are chimps human?' channel 5 asking who will play for england at the 2018 world cup? why is the news so dumbed down? it's like watching, 'brass eye.'

I think that Labour have ordered a 'real news' blackout.
If they haven't ordered one surely the news would be mentioning things like the rip off fuel prices, out of control immigration and a government not fit for purpose, to name but a few.
It really does make me wonder exactly where all this 'news' comes from as it is mostly the same on each channel ????

I have no idea. If there is no news to report, don't broadcast a news show. Put on a comedy instead, it's better viewing.

The BBC has always had leanings towards The BRITISH BROADCASTING CONSERVATIVES, and spend more air-time with death, doom and gloom news items.

You have to justify overseas correspondents
