Post by: ronnyd on 05 June 2016, 09:14:53: Thats the thing at the moment. The news channels now report major stories to death, which, after a while, makes you want to switch off due to constant showing of soundbites and short footage. Which is a shame and undermines the memory of the person/ event. ???
