The News

[Miss Demeanour]

All channels, all presenters - I can't stand it anymore.

I would happily live in a news free bubble ..just give me a status update on travel alerts and let me know what the weather may, or may not, chose to do on any given day.

The rest of it and the mercenaries that create and feed from it,  can go and spontaneously combust from the hot air and frenzied excitement they manufacture.

This is not just Brexit fatigue. This is everything they do and say and chose to air.

From Robert Preston screaming down a microphone , Laura Kunsberg's warped speech impediment  , to some hint just asking someone if they got wet today....which was bad enough but then she followed up with asking the drowned rat how wet they had got!! .

I don' t want to see Mr & Mrs Royal Tee having a bop in South Africa  and  as for Mr Trumps trumpety ,trumps, trump trump trump .....no. 

Greta the Grate ( my god she grates) is being held up as the saviour of the human race.  Where is Supernanny when you need her !!!

I may try and lead a news free life and see if this is possible

You need a holiday ..

[Miss Demeanour]

This is true ...but even that is too 'newsworthy' at the moment.

Football supporters of a certain ilk are trying to lead a Sports News free zone right now

[Grumpmeister]

Have you considered getting a job presenting the news?

I literally never watch, listen to or read 'The News' from the UK and I'm sure my health is better for it... 

When I visit Miss A's they always have Sky News on in the background and the inane drivel irritates me within minutes. Likewise, a mate gave me a lift to Limassol to collect Kia-Ora last week and I was treated to 20 mins of Radio 4 via Forces Radio... 

I completely empathise with you...

I'm probably a classic news junkie, have been since my teens.  Scan the news on (soon to be ended) teletext before I even get up and catch up with it through the day - even when abroad

Not pretending that's a good thing but to just ignore news seems equally bizarre

[Miss Demeanour]

Bizarre is not so bad 

I am deffo going to try it  - I can't think of anything that i will miss that will add any value to my world

It really doesn't... 

I stopped watching when I realised they were lying to me... Probably 'second hand smoke' was the final straw...

I now get my 'news' from various websites and bloggers who (unlike the BBC) have to provide some proof and justification for their views to be believed...

Tim Pool/Timcast and Subverse are worth having a look at.

Just don't get too disconcerted by the geek culture references, he's good at cutting through most of the crap going on and has predicted a number of political events in America well in advance.

Tim Pool isn't a news service, he's an interesting observer of the news but very narrow and very niche.  His supposed wisdoms today include

"Delete your twitter history

Do it now

Thank me later"

and the truly uninteresting

"this world is stupid

everyone is stupid"


As for the BBC supposedly not being scrutinised it's probably the most peer reviewed and overseen news source in the world.  And the broadest

And the most prone to lying to suit their own internal agenda... Which is why I don't watch, listen to or pay for it any more...
