Last night had me switching off the tv in disgust that the most
important news they could find anywhere was "woman has baby - both fine".
I'd hope the Richard the Third forum wouldn't join in as this is a
discussion group for people who love medieval history, not modern monarchy.
Can we please try and avoid the overkill that is going on everywhere else?
Please?
Paul
And, as someons adi on a tv programme recently "the last truly English
king of England [since the Conquest] was Richard the Third. Since then
we've had Welsh, Scots, and bloody Germans!":-)

Richard Liveth Yet!

Have you noticed how all these newsreaders and reporters have lost any impartiality and have simpering grins? It's all a circus. A lot of people have no interest whatsoever but you would not know it from the TV and newspapers.

I wouldn't say I was "disinterested" but you really would think they'd give it a rest.  Young married couple have baby who will (when we are all long dead) be King.  That's it - and they managed to string that simple fact out for about four hours on the news last night!

Actually I started the thread and I completely agree; "you don't want any nasty stories about people dying in hurricanes and those horrible polititians arguing, so lets give you a nice heart-warming story about a cutesy Royal baby" (simpering smile permanently glued to face). Two-day media blck-out for me, hope its safe to switch on again tomorrow.

In fact, I've become so disgusted by the tidal wave of Royal pornography vomited out by the BBC in the last month or so I cancelled by TV licence direct debit last night. If there was just one program taking a more balanced point of view, never mind a voice for republicanism, I might give them the benefit of the doubt. But the Beeb has become a propaganda machine for the Royal personality cult such as the likes of Hitler and Stalin could only dream of. We ALL love the Royals as much as our own family, and we're all SO exited about the birth of yet another over - privilaged little lordling; why allow another point of view to be aired? It's more than my knighthood's worth, mate!

I'm expecting the Government to slip out some bad news under the covers so to speak, in other words it's a good day to bury bad news! The BBC has become an apologist they have lost all credibility and impartiality. They are supposed to represent us not be a propaganda machine for the Monarchy. And all those so called experts they employ to give us insights into the Royal life. It's another example of wasting public money.

I was watching "Burton and Taylor" and I am glad to say they didn't
break into the film to make an announcement. But as soon as it was over
I switched over to see the news which was half way through the time slot
and they were still taking about it. Switched off then and headed for bed!

All the channels are at it and that partially explains it as where one goes the others follow as they don't want to miss out. i'm sticking with Sky Sports at the moment as they haven't moved in on there, yet! If they do, then that will go off as well.
