DEAR Editor;
Does anyone else have the feeling that the local DStv/SABC news channels are taking the easy way out and letting politicians and ‘newsmakers’ rant for minutes on end, repeating themselves and pontificating to their viewers.
In my opinion, this is just lazy reporting. I have just timed an interview with two people going on and on calling for a ban on the Miss Universe (or is it the Miss World) pageant in Israel.
No matter whether you agree with the subject under discussion, or not, why does it take 15 minutes to put the point across.
The obvious answer to the problem is to switch channels but one gets caught out when all three local channels broadcast the same press conference, protest, etc.
So the final solution is to switch off.
