If people want to ingest only certain types of news them i dont think 24/7 rolling news is the thing for you. Maybe just use the internet to read/watch news of your choosing. Everyones idea of news is different. This is even more apparent after reading some of the threads on DS lately, theres too much of something,not enough of something else.
they cant please everyone all the time.
its worse than a pop up.i dont watch for longer than i have to but it seems to be unavoidable at the moment.i simply am fed up of american news.
It's hardly a surprise that news channels wet their pants when reality mirrors Hollywood.
Yep - me. I don't believe that there's no other news going on; might not be bad news but they could break with tradition and tell us more good news!
I don't care a fig for American politics and whilst I feel sorry for those involved in the recent hurricane, I don't understand why it dominates the news.
Then again, the mental health profession did say that the news should carry a government health warning
Nooooooooooooooooo
i will not go near sky for a while.they have sickened me.
strangely that didnt bother me.i was glad the victims had a voice at last.
Believe me when I say it will be a million times worse over there, with people being bombarded with political adverts, robocalls from the candidates and leaflets in the post. Thank your lucky stars you at least have an ocean between that mess and you.
thats true.
They get to say the same thing every May.
well said.dont get me wrong i love most things american,but ive had enough american news.
I know and I also know I should be interested but I'm not - that's what politicians are for. I want lightness and frippary sometimes
i agree but they are flogging it to death.
There are a fair few American things I like - just not everything they say and do. I was watching a film last night and thought 'thank goodness for America, there'd be rubbish films and series without them' - I'm too ill informed to know of much else
Our lot do seem to be covering the American election as though it's our own! Surely just reporting who is President would be enough?
Theres always plenty of things going on in the world. The UK media has an obsession with America and tends to report every little thing.
Go to some of the non-US sites and see for yourself.
i dont remember previous elections getting this much coverage.
As much as I agree that American news is given a little too much importance sometimes, the election this week and Sandy last week are the most important news stories in the world right now.
Non-US sites? How about Le Monde: lead story is Manhattan's electricity and petrol problems. The top "NOW" bar: the first 2 items are Élections américaines and Ouragan Sandy.
