I don't have a TV and never watch TV news - to much BONG for me. Guardian newspaper and FT for me. Used to be also Washington Post and New York Times before they disappeared behind the paywall. The FT is restful and incisive. No yelling.
The Guardian for me also. Very factual and accurate in most cases. Its my first port of call for my news each day. Then to get the other point of view I might read the Daily Fail. I invariably end up laughing at what real reporting shouldn't be. The blatant distortion of the truth in this paper beggars belief.
'The power of accurate observation .... is commonly called cynicism by those that have not got it.
Fire, what is BONG? The BBC, is the biased broadcasting company. now watch the Meredian news, for local stuff once a day on ITV (3)just to see what is going on locally.
"Here is the news - BONG - everyone died - BONG". There was a news programme that used to have Big Ben ring a bell between every headline.
It means purposely dramatised crisis broadcasting, designed to arrest everyone in their tracks and make everyone think that the news today is so much more important than the news yesterday. It's way to much constant escalation for me.
Everyone thinks the BBC is biased against them. I grieve for its loss of teeth. It's so worried about bias its lost its news purpose - see the BBC news website as an example.
The coverage of the US election by Channel 4 News has been exemplary and they have been good at grilling the gormless ministers of this government when they bother to show up. Aside from them I like the arts and news coverage by the Guardian and the FT's much cooler assessments of hot topics. Throw in the mix a bit of New Yorker and and Washington Post to a bit of more insight. Probably against my better judgement tune into LBC to scream at the awful people that call in
