That’s just the UKs top stories. The media all across Europe is very much ANTI lockdown protests, experts questioning everything etc.

Here? Go and look at ANY news site right now and tell me what you see. It’s absolute fear mongering and propaganda.

What exactly are you complaining about? News seems to be reporting facts or stuff that will interest people. The majority dont care about any anti-lockdown dopes or the faux experts so why give them screen time?

Or do you also believe the big explosion is fake to take our freedom?

UK was a relative disaster when dealing with Covid. I would not be holding the UK as an example to follow.

Title is "Irish Media"

Your ramblings are about BBC and ".co.uk" websites.

BBC isn't Irish media. Neither are sites with a ".co.uk" url.

You seem to be complaining about British media not covering faux experts in a thread about Irish media?

Or do you think the British media controls the Irish media through Soros or something?

That’s not the point. This thread is about how the Irish MEDIA are treating this.

It's hysteria thread about people reporting too much about hysteria.

The irony of that can't have escaped you.

It's is the point. Those things are very much connected.

Govt policy's, media reporting, the public response.

Media is generally a mouth piece for someone's agenda.

I honestly don’t know if you’re trolling me or just being simple.

Whoosh.

There’s about 300 other threads on boards discussing that. Not sure you know what thread you’re in.

So can you explain how your BRITISH media examples relate to IRISH media?

I mean its clear you are a firm "critical thinker" so what you believe compared to what is actually fact are very different. What is your theory on the British media = Irish media exactly?

This one is no different obviously.

It's a thread complaining about too much attention on covid. This thread is doing everything it says not to do. It should take it's own advice.

It's the trump idea be like an ostrich. If you ignore a problem it will go away. Seems to be working great.

If the Irish media is annoying people they should stop looking at at. Everything has an off switch.

Its always an interesting experience when a conspiracist ventures into the wilds.

Yes, of course it’s in the news worldwide, but it seems no other country is so obsessed with the daily figures to the extent of Ireland.

Unfortunately a large number of Irish people have fallen victim to the scaremongering and are afraid to *try* get on with their lives.

The near-daily press conferences and updates should be curtailed. It seems such a waste of time to have a press conference on daily figures with terrible journalistic questions. If they used that extra hour to sit down and try figure out a strategy without worrying what the public might think, it would be a lot more effective than playing to the media.

I see so as the figures rise and we go back into lock down, it should be reported less. Keep it low key.

How's the wild working out for you?

This is not unlike the media obsession with social media and reality shows. It's why I stopped watching and reading a lot of it. Just garbage.

Like music radio. It's playing the same 10 songs for months. 50% ads. You tube is the same. It ignores what I actually watch and promote all these influencers who I never watch..

Solution stop looking at it, or filter what you look at yourself. Don't just mindlessly consume what your fed.

If you're working yourself up into hysteria. That is you doing that. No one else. Get the facts and then turn it off. Have you no self control.

its looking like humanity truly is going full retard during this pandemic!

Been done better before.

how come?

There's no doubt that with the lock down and pandemic has mental health impact on many people.

But people are a little addicted to social media and news. If it's causing you a problem you should limit your exposure to it.

Easier said than done if you are actually addicted obviously.
