My husband is a newshound and would happily watch the news (and racing!) all day long, but I just want to know a brief outline.<br /><br />News is like a naked woman - a thin veil shows what is there but still leaves something to the imagination.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-68025773531867763012012-10-03T08:37:12.273-07:002012-10-03T08:37:12.273-07:00I don't watch the news very often because all ...I don't watch the news very often because all too often what they are basically giving me is propaganda. For instance there are horror stories coming out of Fukushima nearly every week but we are being told nothing. The news is in the pocket of the international news controllers.

I gave up watching tv news programmes about 5 years ago. I read the paper but am pretty much fed up with newspapers too. I remember my mother giving up watching television news some years ago and I thought she was mad. I must be getting old as I now understand what she meant!Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-15604804541029868432012-10-02T01:50:55.472-07:002012-10-02T01:50:55.472-07:00You make an interesting point here.

Who could possibly need or want so many news bulletins every day? We need to know what is happening but do we need to see so much graphic detail? It must either horrify or desensitise us all, children included.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-63318634755535280132012-10-01T11:48:45.276-07:002012-10-01T11:48:45.276-07:00I tend to read the news online
