Channel 9, Channel 7, Channel 2 and Channel 10 showed the Queen’s death all day, for days. Why?
Yes, it’s an important event but you can’t watch it all day. That is not good for your mental health.
It’s news but not the only news in Australia.
Regularly, free to air programming gets interrupted for such things as interest rate rises at 3.30pm.
Why can’t it wait for the regular news time of 4pm, plus we know it will be repeated at the main news at 6pm.? We don’t need instant notification.
All through Covid, we’d be bombarded with case numbers, ventilators, death, the premier and the prime minister telling us stuff over and over and over again. Why?
Stop sensationalising everything. Going to be a rain bomb, don’t send the kids to school – hardly any rain and very stressed out
parents missing work and trying to find child care.
News times are sufficient without repeating the same stuff over and over again. It’s like crying wolf, people. Stop believing what the news is trying to tell us.
Scare-mongering affects our mental health, give us a break.
