24 Hour News channels......like feeding a hungry elephant....every story is a little morsel ending up having equal value so we move, incredibly, from looking at dead bodies on the streets of Bucha to a "feel good" fluff story....OR, worse, to a week long headlining of the "slap heard round the world". Repetition and unfolding stories, misleading headlines and screen summaries...... It is whiplash and ultimately nonsensical. At the same time as they are feeding the elephant they refuse to pay people to do the long, hard investigative work.....rather, hire more pundits, ex White House staff, political celebrities....... With very few exceptions, we are fed a high carb, low protein news diet. Meanwhile, younger generations simply are not watching TV but taking headlines off of news feeds on their phones IF they are not scrolling through to the pop culture stuff and where their friends are eating at the moment. What a mess. I often go to BBC which is less flashy, more focused...but you can see the pressure is on them to get more glitzy. HardTalk is one of the best in-depth interview shows going. Thanks, TC. This helps me recover from yesterday's rape and pillage post which I made the supreme mistake of reading just before I went to bed. Needed to be said. I just need to read it in the daylight at least!!! Thank you, as always.

I did say "don't look if you recently ate," but I will also now add a warning of "not before bedtime" where appropriate. That is very understandable.
