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  |
I think it's best that the media trust us to tell it as it is. I'd rather know the situation so I can plan accordingly than live in a world like North Korea where the news is happy-clappy because they don't trust their citizens with the truth.
I appreciate that everyone has different sensitivities but if the news offends, don't watch or read it. Easier said than done, I know, which reminds me of that
famous episode from the likely lads.
