"More grim news" says BBC 1 news just now with the covid deaths reaching a new high. Funny how the focus has shifted from new cases to deaths.
It is absolutely clear they are dwelling on the bad news. I would say the news is good. Not today's deaths obviously but the future is looking better as cases are coming down so deaths should follow.
Why can't they just give a balanced appraisal?

Why can't they just give a balanced appraisal? 1820 deaths reported today, but from the BBC website:
So when, roughly, did the deaths reported today happen?
Today or yesterday - nearly 900
Two to three days ago - just under 450
Four to seven days ago - more than 300
Eight to 14 days ago - about 150
15 to 28 days -15
Longer than 28 days ago - 10

Why can't they just give a balanced appraisal? How terrible and biased. Why don’t the BBC just focus on 2022 when cases and deaths will be low and lockdown will be over. Hopefully

As today, the highest number occurred on a single day is 12th January 2021, 1110 deaths coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deathsUnfortunately, figures can go higher as there is a delay when reporting covid deaths

Boris is getting better with the PM job now?
Or is it someone else was making decisions before 2021?

Boris, Gordon Brown and Lawson proved to me that Journalists make terrible senior politicians.

Cheap to manufacture but expensive to purchase (doubly so if you're a Tory donor ). You wonder why China had 6.5% growth YoY in the final quarter of 2020?
