Time moves on and the Media is getting
fed up with nothing to report that’s different so what does the media do. It looks for non-stories and ways to criticise
when in fact praise should be the order of the day
Letter to the TIMES
“As usual you bury the important facts and truths. You headline
makes out that the Gov is trying to mislead or not report accurately the number
of deaths. If you listened to the Press Conference each day you would
have heard the medical experts explain why the hospital data is reported on –
it enables comparisons and ability to see when peaks have been reached.
Any sensible analyst of the data realises that you can’t change the data being
used if you want to compare results. At all time the experts and Gov have said
that the data for Care Homes is in the public domain but is inaccurate in terms
of timings. Its reporting like this that makes me steer clear of the
Media and listen directly to the experts.”
Then the Opposition, since it got a new leader, feels it need to criticise. Always easy to be in opposition – you can suggest
anything knowing you won’t have to implement it. The statistics don’t make the illness disappear. No matter how many times you weigh a big it doesn’t
make it fatter. The ONS has proved
itself to be a useless quango which keeps a lot of Civil Servants in jobs. They spend all their time speculating and being
opinionated. They got Brexit wrong in so
many ways with unemployment and the economy both going to be affected
badly. Neither happened. Everything else that comes out of their
office is always worst case scenario which the media then picks up and creates pandemonium. For goodness
sake use them to work out the simple things in life not something that nobody
knows how it will pan out. I have yet to
hear anyone form the ONS apologies for their inaccurate forecasting of Brexit. Stop
trying to get the Gov to apologies for doing what they think is right. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
They’re at it again.
Somebody at the BBC got on the bandwagon of some so called expert who is
professing the doom of the economy.
Every phrase they have stated includes the words “could” or “might” or “possibly”
or “worst case scenario.” When will this
scaremongers realise that this is not a definite to even putting it out there
under the banner of the BBC means that some individuals will take this as fact. There are a large number of tabloid readers
who cannot tell the difference. Like any
other major economy there will be a difficult road ahead but it will bounce
back and there will be casualties but moaning about the actions of the
Government to preserve as much as we can is not going to solve anything. Thinking positively will help and preparing
to support those who will be most affected is fine but just sitting there as a journalist
spouting forth vitriolic comments and undermining actions and plans does not
help. Whoever is in charge has to make decisions
based on the facts at the time. Everyone
wants to same conclusion which is to defeat the virus. Nobody has any other alternative goal. The plans that have been decided by an
elected government are therefore the ones we follow. I’m not interested in anyone else’s solution. Let the people who are running the plan look
at these other solutions and make a judgement based on all the information they
have.
BBC grow up and stick to what the plan is and encourage
not try and find fault all the time
Oh the rot has begun to set in with the media. They are fed up with good news stories and are now trying to find fault with everything. Woke up to the TODAY program news this morning to hear every story complaining or trying to find fault with what is being done. I think journalists are probably the lowest of the low when it comes to people and their aim in life is to always find fault. Investigative journalism has a role when finding criminals but not when it comes to people trying to do the best job they can. Its as if they think that politicians and other people are deliberately trying to do the wrong thing. All that differs is the way people try to solve the same problem. Their aims are the same so don't try and trip them up with your stupid questions and sarcastic comments (thank goodness John Humphries has gone)
