you know i REALLY should stop watching the news mornings

well sorry but hardly headline news content in my book , when there are many in the UK and else where struggling with fuel poverty - and would probably LOVE to be able to swan off to eurodisney at any time - but have OTHER priorities like eating and warmth
i don't know if any of you have noticed but news channels always seem to focus on "non stories" like this - but do they ever go to poor people and report on their PROBLEMS ?? - RARELY IT SEEMS - oh yea we hear about people who get themselves into problems through their own faults - such as drug abuse or multiple kids etc - but WHAT of the ordinary folk who are struggling to survive ?? - usually a cursory comment or two at best
and have you also noticed a LOT ( well the majority actually ) of interviews with "families" are always ones who are seemingly "well to do" with nice houses and We sell total junk, we will rip you off, we are scammers and 2.4 well behaved , frequently "private school " children - in other words the ideal family - how often do reporters go to a sink estate or an old persons home where they are struggling to keep warm in front of a one bar fire ??
as to any sort of "ish " coverage - guess our efforts ain't news

so wada you all think - is there a "bios" with news coverage towards the better off in the world ??
or is it me getting even MORE paranoid
