I long for news without opinion.

The recent storm battered the coast with 2 inches of rain.

Not:

The recent storm battered the coast with 2 inches of rain - global warming suspected - interview with experts coming up.

OK I’ve over-simplified here but imagine — “News” could actually be covered in 10-15 minutes minus the speculation.

Is it my imagination or is that how old BBC news of the 50’s-60’s was?

That’s how network TV was.

1/2 hour of news,including weather.The basics.

The newspapers gave us the fine points.
