COVID-19: TV News Media....take note!!

I, and many, many others, are completely fed up with news-media TV journalists using sensation-laden lines when before the cameras and also adding their hyped, dramatic opinions.

JUST GIVE US THE NEWS, for God's sake, without trying to dramatise it!!

We do NOT need the hyperbole. We just need the facts and have them delivered without your attempts at sensationalism.

Neither do we need cartoony graphics running in the background.

We DO realise the seriousness of the situation and DO NOT need your ridiculous attempts to increase the drama.
So you so-called journos - and those who write your lines - give it a rest and just state the facts.

Over the past month I have become so irritated by the TV news telecasts...all of them, including the ABC. Even SBS has joined the ranks.

(How we miss the days of one person (James Dibble, Brian Henderson, et al) sitting behind a desk and giving us the un-garnished facts and then if warranted, doing a voice over as a video ran to illuminate the story.)
