[Gordon Steadman]

I like "Police Style" reporting eg:  "Today at 22:10, Leo Capaldi posted a message on a web forum in which he indicated his news source preferences. The message contained over 200 words and was viewed by a small number of people, some of whom agreed and some of whom did not agree. Other people took no interest in his words."

Reporting is no longer news, it's part of the entertainment industry, written, it seems, by people with no knowledge of grammar or spelling.

I don't have a TV either and get my news on-line which means, I guess, that I am ill informed and misled, just like most other people.
