Media danger
As an old reporter I am sorry to say that reading newspapers and watching and listening to broadcast news these days is a danger to our health.
I am doing it much less, tired of the endless negative, sensational accounts of most topics, especially war, the economy, who did what in lockdown and the impending doom of the UK.
Just look at a few recent stories-
Economy: Man goes to the library to stay warm; More than 2m adults cannot afford to eat every day: Fire chief warns against fires in efforts to save heating.
War: Putin preparing for long war. Sixty killed in Russian air strike. Ukrainians in UK face years of war trauma therapy.
Politics: Chaos in Northern Ireland. Partygate, Beargate.
Travel: Chaos at airports for holiday travellers.
Just a sprinkling of the shower of depressing news. Give it a rest, please.
Worse than negative, in fact, more often
As
R
