News about 'celebrities' sells newspapers and tittle-tattle magazines, but real news about significant events doesn't ... and regrettably the non-print media has followed that same path over recent years.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-73614315032664711122017-04-14T23:24:28.321+01:002017-04-14T23:24:28.321+01:00This reminds me of the appalling lack of coverage ...This reminds me of the appalling lack of coverage given by the BBC to the Volgograd bombing in which 34 people were killed going about their daily business. The BBC's lead news item (on TV and web)? Schumacher's skiing accident!<br /><br />They justified it, in response to a complaint I made, with the argument (I paraphrase) 'it's what people are interested in'. I can feel myself getting angry all over again.nundankethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895608927860103442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-14863049791877690242017-04-04T23:45:22.925+01:002017-04-04T23:45:22.925+01:00Yeah.
