British News
14th March 2020
I subscribe to a collection of news feeds from British sources. A lot of what they publish, as with American sources, is trash. Since almost every article is accompanied by a picture, I’ve developed a simple method of triage that I’d like to share with you.
I ignore any article accompanied by a picture of:
- Any member of a royal family, British or otherwise. (Yes, I know a lot of these people by sight. Don’t ask.)
- Any British politician that I recognize. (Far too many. Again, don’t ask.)
- Any athletic event or participant, including coaches and Russian oligarchs. (There’s a story behind that — but it’s just as boring.)
- Food items. For some reason British news sources are big on these, and they’re all disgusting.
This eliminates about 90% of it, and saves an immense quantity of time. Highly recommended.
