I am interested in “The World”/”News”/”Current Affairs”, but….
Every single news worthy article that I have had first hand knowledge of has been factually incorrect – and that’s the simple facts before any news hound even starts to put a twist on it.
…my wife and I have both noticed the same thing in ‘news’ reports about subjects that either of us know something about….
I suspect that other stories could also contain the occasional inaccuracy….
I take all news with a pinch-of-salt/healthy scepticism, even from the Today programme and The World Tonight.
From what I’ve seen, 24hr news is mostly (frequently-repeated) garbage. It must be a struggle to fill the time. I really do wonder why the broadcasters bother with it.
The BBC TV 6/9 o’clock news appears to have ‘dumbed-down’ -I used to prefer watching Channel 4 News, although I rarely watch TV news these days.
