Corona virus News Updates

Does anyone else find the journalists asking questions of the three participating MP’s/specialists questions inane at times?


I also find Robert Preston unwatchable. His manner is rude to my mind.


I turn off when he comes on!

Why can"t the journalists agree in advance to prioritize their questions they need to question the. here and now and not the long term future which will only be answerable as the course of the virus evolves . Personally I am reducing my viewing of the news and gave up newspapers years ago.

I agreewith you 100% about Robert Peston, I don't like his attitude at all. The journalists often ask unreasonable questions, for which the MP's /specialists don't have the answers at this time. They would need to have a crystal ball to answer some of them.

I agree with you about Robert Preston, the long silences in the middle of sentences drive me mad - I'd much rather watch the lovely Laura on the BBC
