To still watch Newsround?

It's so much better than grown up news! I watch it... I understand stuff! The Eurocrisis? Easy! No Robert Peston patronising tones, just young, fun presenters and simple to understand language. What's not to love?!

The lack of in depth analysis, the lack of holding ministers to account, the lack of complexity...and on and on.

Try Radio 4.

I agree with you, OP. I've spent years and years (now in my dotage) watching Ministers and Governments self-serve and not be brought to account........and I don't want to watch it any more stargirl.

Hasn't been the same since John Craven stopped doing it. Now it's just dumbed down rubbish.

I watch the Channel 4 news. I have a secret crush on Jon Snow.

Just needed to share that.

Newsround was too colourful last time I looked, made me squint.

I agree with JosephineCD. I tried watching it a while ago and there was no proper news on it - it was just about celebreties Hmm.
It was an excellent programme when John Craven started it, and for many, many years.
