It's all about the ratings for them, so they try to outdo each other in more sensational reporting. <br />I tend to listen to different news channels and also to read different news sources, best to hear it and all and sort it out for yourself.

I still try to educate myself in subjects that interest me but every year the tidal wave of complete dross, mediocrity, misinformation and dumbed down TV gets larger and harder to sift through for the nuggets of truth. The BBC might not be perfect but you can generally believe it to be more accurate than most. A perfect example is Yahoo News which is guaranteed to lower your I Q by 30 to 60 percent over time judging by the comments pages after so called 'news reports.' And as you know I'm not that bright myself but even I shudder at the standards set and the low,low bar height to limbo under :o) It seems to be an age where we celebrate stupidity like never before.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-28982488900238369512016-12-02T18:21:27.206-05:002016-12-02T18:21:27.206-05:00Not much that is earth shaking here but I found it...Not much that is earth shaking here but I found it interesting! :-)Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-7807403104898782532016-12-02T18:20:31.749-05:002016-12-02T18:20:31.749-05:00Many things interest me and when I see or hear som...Many things interest me and when I see or hear something, I will mention it, for sure!Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-40520958969648611622016-12-02T18:19:12.431-05:002016-12-02T18:19:12.431-05:00I love to learn, I always have.
