Good morning,
It’s a quiet Sunday and I am off for a run in Hyde Park with my dog Sally. But before I go…
I am watching the Covid crisis in India and reading-in with sadness how out of control it has become, and people are dying as the oxygen runs out in a nation where the P.M. Modi bragged Covid was beaten and he held huge no mask rallies. Remind you of anyone with Orange hair and no twitter account?
The importance of reading main stream news sights that strive to give you truthful news, can be the difference between life and death in a pandemic. Stay off right wing media news, and fringe social media. You don’t need to add to your confusion right now. I think less commentary and more clear factual reporting is best. YOU can analyze on your own.
Also, think about how you feel when you read/watch something? Does it leave you angry and hating? It shouldn’t because real reporters try to give you both sides without the venom you find from hate mongering news programs. Delete those people that leave you furious because they are striving for that for political purposes.
I don’t think you can guess my politics, because I don’t display that in my reporting, And, to tell you the truth I like to listen to both sides of a debate. Every day is a school day!
We live in this incredible age of information where so much is available to us. but it’s also the age of confusion and disinformation. Be a smart news consumer. Read multiple sources. Stay off conspiracy news sights, because they distract and cloud your judgement. Don’t read left or right, choose solid news sources.
I try to write with them here and post the links. You may not like all of them, and that’s ok.
But I usually read a few different news sources and then post the one I think is most accurate and easy to understand. Today on India - this link below gives you a very good idea whats gone wrong.
Ok now for that run. Have a good Sunday morning.

Excellent piece! More common sense and facts and less sensationalism and division.
