I'm just sick and tired of the media and especially the TV News that continually and, ad infinitum, adds drivel to our news. When will they realise?

David and Vic Beckham.............I AIN"T BOVVERED
Big Brother& all who live in her..I AIN"T BOVVERED
Paul Mac and whoever...............I AIN"T BOVVERED
Paris Hilton..............................I AIN"T BOVVERED
Anyone who can afford a publicist to annoy me with rubbish about their life.............I AIN"T B*****Y BOVVERED

If I want to know (and I don't) about this trivia, I'll buy a magazine.
If the powers that be, cut this rubbish the News would be a manageable 30 mins, tops.

Who DO they write this stuff for anyway?
Newspapers aren't much better, without this we could return to having a single paper on weekends instead of umpteen volumes and save a forest or two.
Perhaps you guys should tell Tony B, could improve your carbon footprint

Sorry folks, ranted enough for today
Be Lucky

When the bright idea of 24 hour news was first put forward (probably by a news reader who wanted job security) no-one asked "how can we fill the time?" so now they have newsreaders interviewing reporters and asking questions like (at the scene of a huge explosion and fire) "How are they feeling now?"

I shout at the TV so much that my husband tries to avoid watching the news. All this celebrity stuff is for people with narrow dull lives who regard watching TV as a hobby! we should feel sorry for them but I don't have time because I am too busy trying to fit a 28 hour a day life into the 24 we've been allocated.

OH and why should our Tone listen to the people that put him there. He alone knows what is best for us - hell make another law, that's what he'll do.
