Whilst reading this piece my mind was instantly transported back to my childhood.
I remember when the news only appeared on T.V (on one of the 4 channels) twice per day and it was as you described, news.
Just facts, no opinions/agendas (seemingly) being pushed on the viewers.
Nowadays with this 24hr ' news' channels agendas are pushed, opinions well documented and a lot of the times the facts are of no real importance, just as long as the ratings are in.
These days I try to keep my new consumption to a minimum.
Thanks for this piece, great read 👍
