can't bear the news; can't bear the voices they use to describe deaths and war and disease. Can't bear the fact that almost everybody on screen, unless it's a fashion or famine special, is a man. Can't bear the totally partial selection of things to report, as if wars stop at xmas for instance, and there's only ever two allowed to be going on at the same time, even then it's a stretch for them! Can't bear the news because when it's about something i know something about ( nutrition for example) , they are usually wrong. ( what does that mean about the rest of it?) Can't bear the news because it is entertainment, top billing peak viewing pull'em-in stuff, based on real peoples suffering, like the roman ampitheatres, rather than a horror film, where noone suffers, but which so many condemn or find silly, only real death is good enough for them. Can't bear the news because it is peak viewing because it reassures and comforts so many people with TVs that all is the way it should be; wars and famines in the right places, women barely seen and virtually not heard, children invisible.
can't bear the news. Poisonous junk. ( like wolphin and mj1 above i find it stressful, irritating, anxiety inducing, upsetting, and ultimately depressing)
