A great example of how main stream media reporting seems to be more about grabbing headlines than reporting FACTS

dailymail.co.uk/home/index.htm

This is the usual scaremonging crap we get in the UK, sure covid is Serious, but apparently no one has yet died. One death but there seems to be confusion as to if that person died OF or WITH covid - omnicran

Also the same issue deaths + underlying health conditions and deaths within 28 days of a +ve test, so that suggests test positive, get ht by a bus and you die from covid.

2 graphucs one showing the south west as yellow, that suggests that there are no cases in the south west, another graphic showing south west as 12. something percent.

The former map they have not even put in a key to say what the colous mean.

Has journalism got so bad now that we can't just report factual information. ?

Meanwhile the whole lot of this is going to have a massive impact on our economy.

Just ridiculous,

@zleap you have a good point wrt the media and scaremongering, but to be fair, judging journalism by the Daily Mail is like judging literature by Twilight.

@Upjohn94

Well yeah, good point, for once the mirror is more upbeat

I think ALL media should focus more on the FAILURE again of social services and other agencies. We have had the death of 2 children under 6 years, both of whom were beaten by parents, social services told and did nothing.
