Overkill

It’s diabolical, a daily hour programme would be completely enough It’s not only overkill it is overtaking peoples lives and it’s really freaking a lot of people out Some people have been hanging onto every word for the last two months or more
Which ever programme you are watching there will be warnings between, the news talks virtually about only that, then full on programmes too. eEvery time I turn any programme on radio apart from music, there it is, being discussed all the whys and where for the should shouldn’t the maybes
Social media is full on corvid corvid corvid
No wonder some people are so panicked they won’t even put their nose out of the door Poor mental health will overrun us soon

Quite!!

We're watching Chris Packham.
Well, the monkeys, not the man himself

I watch the weather forecast on BBC in the mornings, not sure why, because Carol rarely gets it right.
Then we watch the daily briefing in the late afternoon.
We don’t watch any new programmes or anything with the current news on it, Suzie is right , there are plenty of other channels or the internet that you can watch.
burying our heads in the sands maybe?

Flo I think you are right, there is news overkill at the moment, and it doesn’t do anyone any good to constantly see and listen to it.One of the trials of the modern age!

There's too much of it, on tv, radio, in the newspapers. I watch the news once a day and that's all. It's the same old thing all the time.

I just check the headlines online the watch the press briefing and listen to questions from the public. We switch off when the journalists start.

I've taken to watching, at most, once a day.

Oh dear Jo as if I give a flying fig about what you think of me - I doubt any contribution of yours will ever be worth reading anyway so your not posting will hardly be a loss to GN. Rather the reverse ???

I don't want to watch it all the time but I think they have to keep repeating things as people work different hours and have different commitments. Not everyone wants to watch it at the same time.

suziewoozie - I absolutely agree with you re the "off switch" - I employ this whenever I enter a thread and find you are taking part - I don't need to read put downs, sarcasm and downright rudeness in response to perfectly acceptable posts. Just pressing the switch now !

Don’t watch/listen to it, there’s an off switch you know.
