# Hahahah
Two completely different viewpoints on the news last night.

ITV - OMG PANDEMIC PANIC WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!

BBC - Well, all the cases outside of Mexico have been quite mild so far...



Media hype lols.

# The ITV news is the Daily Mail in 3D
It's a pure work of horror.

The evening news is the worst. I believe one b3tan summed it up perfectly when he described it as the 'fear news'

Its brass eye/ day today personified.

Gimme the warm, genuine duo of suzanne virdee and nick owen any day.

nick owen has sardonic eyebrows.

Watch them.. they never stop moving.

# i think i will
i have never noticed - im usually looking at Virdee's fudging lully eyes and hair

Fittest newsreader evar innit

Im sure nick owen wouldnt be as bad as that bloke off ITV news with the GIANT eyebrows, that are always in a smug/ worried shape - even during the comic relief stories.

TRUFAX - Nick owen did a speech and stopped for drinks when the place i used to work at opened its doors. Kay alexander was there too! No virdee tho :-(
