It seems that every piddling little thing is blown up out of all proportion just to fill news space and it's extremely annoying. The daddy long legs story in the Sun and on BBC Breakfast news this morning is just one example from thousands - it's September, leaves turn brown and fall from the trees and daddy long legs come out to play, that's just what happens in Autumn. Just like when we see a bee in April it's a total anomily and the world must be about to explode just because of this one tiny little bee! FFS! The media blow these stories up out of all proportion because they need to fill their papers/programmes with something and as a result the rest of us are left believing that something really bad is about to happen.
And with regards to other stories in the news, I'm fed up of a news story breaking and everyone being interviewed for their thoughts and opinions within seconds. I know rolling news programmes have a desperate need to fill time but do we really need to know what the cousin of someone's friend's sister thought about something???
