Because we are bombarded with news on an hourly basis these days through the web, tv, mobile, radio, is the state of the country really any worse than say 10 years ago?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Too many ways to get news is it a bad thing?

At last,someone thinking along the same lines as me.This country has become media obsessed and media driven to a certain degree! Reading the Sunday Papers an Alien would think we lived in an uncontrollable hell.

It is media driven, and I do honestly think if these channels where not available to get the news 24/7 we would carry on with life being a lot happier.

I think it's a case of "no news is good news" but i am sure there is a lot of good news out there but it does not make the headlines! Why is that?

Is ignorance bliss?
The Ethiopian famine of c.1984 only managed to gain notoriety due to the coverage from the media which had huge knock on effects across the globe for many other countries. It is quite easy to avoid 24 hour media coverage!
You can exercise choice in what you watch and read.
I like having many sources, readily available. It doesn't mean I have to read all of them, all of the time.

Good news doesn't sell papers. The macarbe is a much better selling tool, not as good as sex mind, but still very good.

Agreed, but at the same time I would rather be omniscient of the bad news - the good news is there if you search hard enough.
It would be easier to buy the Hans Christian Anderson box set.

If you people feel that we are "Media Driven" and are communicated to death, why are you on this forum?

Just listen to the Six O'Clock News on Radio 4 every night. That's THE news. Period.
