Communication or gossip, which should it be? After the world news today, I suspect that both will be flowing down the same already murky river bed. Reporters and journalists will attempt to communicate to all that will listen the facts as they glean them. Assuming of course that they are true facts and not the notorious fake news. The most important fact today is that, apparently or for real, the United States President has fallen ill with Coronavirus. Gossip mongers will provide us all with side entertainment in this very unfortunate and unpleasant show of reality. Who did what and when will be sounded so loudly that they tumble together over and over each other like pebbles, rocks and any other tossed away debris. It is up to each of us to either listen with an honest ear or turn the media off and listen to the birds of the air. Yes, we will all have our opinions. Which ones of them will be coloured by gossip and which by accurate communication? Be careful out there!
