Re: Coronavirus

Fed up of seeing it reported as 'UK suffers biggest recession ever'

Why do news outlets insist on taking some news, and then dressing it up as the biggest disaster to occur, ever, in the history of the World

Is it some modern thing that needs to be done to generate sales/viewing/discussion? Is it done as a means of getting one over on others due to having the best sensationalist headline . . that everyone then copies?

It's like bloody advertising, I don't know about you lot, but 99% of the adverts thrown at me - in whatever form - immediately make me vow to steer clear of their products
