Why Does Bbc Breakfast Seem To Dig Around For Grim News About The Nhs?

[dave50]

It seems to be every other day that some obscure bad news survey about the NHS is covered but there is no sign of this item on any other news channel. This morning it was an item about the latest survey that said that more people are dis-satisfied with the service they get from the NHS. Yawn, so what? I switched channels.

The BBC is always on the lookout for bad news stories. They would have you believe the country is going to hell in a hand cart if it had its way. Even better if they can blame Brexit in some way.

Just a matter of time until they ask the question 'Why does the NHS treat half the dregs of the world for nothing while UK taxpayers can't see a doctor before July'.

Just be patient.

That's what the BBC does - anything to distract you from the real issues of the day.

I usually watch Breakfast TV when Dan Walker and Louise Minchin are on and don't mind Charlie Stayt or the various weekend presenters such as Rachel Burden,Tina Daheely and Steph Mcgovern.However the biggest turn off for me is Naga Munchetty she is so rude and her stupid glasses make her look ridiculous.

When something is wrong there are two ways to look at it. One is to turn away, close eyes, plug ears and hold your breath hoping that when you wake up it was all just a bad dream - or (same sort of approach) walk off out of range and pretend you don't know about it. The other is to draw attention to it, urge improvement and do all you can to encourage anyone able and willing in making improvements - help with that if you are able to.

I know which strikes me as more helpful in the situation and also which type of person cares more.

Mind you, there is also a third way: Berate the person who points out the failings and scream at the top of your voice "Anti-British so-and-so".

The Beep Beep See has long since ceased to be a "reporter" of the news or current affairs and has morphed into a left wing/Marxist "maker/generator of items and ideas" that's only purpose is to push the political narrative of the people who are employed(for want of a better word) by the organisation.

Cheer up, dave.
There are plenty of other channels for you to enjoy....

Are you sure, in your own mind, that the NHS is the best it can be and there is no cause for concern anywhere within it?

The best in the middle news source is the independant.

For me Naga Munchetty is the only reason to watch BBC Breaksfast News. She's gorgeous.

Some people around here need to be grateful for their health. If you're suffering, or caring for someone it is the big news of the day.
