BBC / SKY negative view ref Coronavirus3 Mar 2020 13:14
Whilst Coronavirus is clearly a major issue, have you noticed how much the BBC and SKY are so hyped about this, not just on tv but on phones etc. Its all so doom and gloom, at present we have 40 cases of the virus population in UK 65 Million, of course people need to be advised but its pushed down our throats all day every day.
People panic, buy food that's not necessary and virtually stop everything, yes its serious particularly in China, South Korea and Italy but the media need to reassure people not press the panic button, no wonder the markets collapsed and BPC barely moved after the EA.
When last week the markets collapsed and the DOW had the biggest one day fall it was first on the news, today when the DOW had its biggest one day rise it was barely even mentioned.
The media need to get more responsible with reporting, yes Coronavirus is important and the message needs to get out there but put it in perspective.
