Neither have I.

As I am one of the growing band who does not pay the television tax..

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and the mainstream media.

So you despise the mainstream media but they are not behaving badly right now?

Don't bother to answer. I won't look to see what you say

The threat was over a month ago and died...except for such well respected sources as: the Sun, the Mail, the Express and the Mirror...nuff said, I think.

Well I I do not read any of them. Even some of the news on BBC is questionable.

I don't read any of the tabloids either but if I google just about anything for their news sources, those links come up (then I ignore them)

If the first few links shown are from tabloids then it's a fair bet the articles have been copied and pasted from a dodgy source.

I'd remove that "even"! The BBC has been behaving very badly - almost trying to make an apocalypse out of a crisis.

For many years, my family and a lot of my friends refer to the BBC as the British Brainwashing Corporation.

I find their reports overly dramatic and I only share their links if I have checked other sources.

How can you be 'overly dramatic' about a virus that is infecting millions???

How can you be 'overly dramatic' about a virus that is killing millions???

I was referring to their articles about other situations. If they have a history of being over dramatic it's likely they would be over dramatic about all kinds of things

The official figure for confirmed COVID-19 deaths worldwide is 196,000 but I have no idea how accurate that is

"killing millions" is a bit over dramatic

It's today! [apparently]

It is indeed World Penguin Day. I doubt their Northern trips will be impeded! 😊
