I don't think any need to be avoided but don't take any of them at face value. Take certain things with a pinch of salt and apply critical and independent thought and analysis to each article.

Having said that I don't think the tabloid sensationalism is helping at this time.

I read something the other day from a Chinese woman on how to survive the lockdown. The first thing she said was to avoid most of the media coverage.

The red tops have never shown responsible behaviour what ever they report .. it’s all about sales and never let the truth and the facts get in the way of selling one more paper ....

Social media such as Facebook and Instagram are my way of keeping in touch with my friends. I personally feel social media is a benefit to us right now.

They are good for keeping in touch although unfortunately some people consider their content to be reliable news content.

As I've said before I'm working in the centre of this, avousobg all news sources, left all political groups on Facebook, muted some friends, listening to the daily briefings we get at work that I need to know and that's it.

I know how bad this shit is, I don't need doom and gloom and negativity at every corner

I remember during the Falklands conflict (yeah, I'm old, get over it!) a soldier out there said in a message to his family to ignore the papers but believe the news broadcasts. I do have some issues with the BBC but to be honest, at times of crisis, they are the only one I trust.

Yes trust them all but remember the bullshit about Brexit and the end of everything if we left. So maybe sometimes they are not to be trusted.

I like the discussions with the experts (especially when they confirm my beliefs, hehe).
