Crisis
We are continually told there is a crisis.
Climate crisis
Energy Crisis
Cost of living crisis
Middle East crisis.
But if you do not read the paper, watch TV or listen to the radio then for you there is no crisis.
So how bad are they?
Is it the case that the journalists of all persuasions set their story to suit.
To suit their opinion on the matter, to get their personal point across, to write in such a manner that they may win an award?
For my opinion for what it is worth I trust none of them.
Yes I may report on what is said but that does not mean I think it is Kosher.
The media of all kinds does far more trouble than it ever solves.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
