What with all the different wars
that are now being reported on
so copiously, one point I am glad of
is that I do not watch television news.
With radio/audio the arguments and statistics
remain the same, but with less need for footage
to illustrate what the fighting is all about,
and who each side are, the radio presenters
are more free to argue the de/merits
of the wars than television could ever be.
With television the images impart more heat
than they shed light, the images become
something for the truth to hide behind,
the better for it not to be asked about.
