Beeb staff obviously don't feel the love either...

Read it again. It's the Daily Fascist giving their usual spin on something that isn't true.

[BillyStubbsTears]

That paper is the shitest of shite rags.

They use quotation marks in the headline for something for which they have no quote.

Utter, 100% lying, twisting scum. And we're supposed to believe that the problem with implementing the Leveson Report is that it would hobble the freedom if the press. To write this sort of lying shite by a shite rag written by Kitsons.

That's how the Daily Facist and their ilk spread their crap. I guarantee you, the next time there's a Euroscare headline I can pick it apart and prove there's no story whasoever despite how much they big it up.

To be honest, I don't think any of the papers are up to much, I read most of them, but prefer the Guardian. The same as with the news, i check them all in the hopes of getting a balanced answer. Not that it happens that often.
the Mail will always be a tory mouthpiece, lets face it, it's owner is one of Camerons best buds.


I prefer Twitter

[Glyn_Wigley]

But Twitter is ALL headline and no substance!

[jucyberry]

My routine is this, read all the papers, decontaminate my mind with the guardian.
watch all three news, Beeb/ITV/C4, again prefering C4

then go on twitter for the things that interest me... Yup My life is that boring..

[CusworthRovers]

I've just found twitter sweetness, if you follow the right peeps, it can be very enlightening.

The Daily Mail make the vast majority of their money from making these attention-grabbing headlines, which people forward to one another. One FAMOUS STORY was about how a crazy Polish (obviously) dentist pulled out all her ex-boyfriend's teeth. This story was forwarded throughout the world and was even broadcast on American news networks. Turns out none of the people involved in the story even existed. It was totally made up, and The Daily Mail "weren't sure" about where it came from. They had no problem publishing it, of course, and never printed a retraction. Imagine that, one of the most-read news sources in the world printing a story that was just made up out of thin air, pulled from the back of someone's imagination somewhere. Not just twisting existing facts, which all papers do, but just making them up. It's quite scary, when you think about it.

Of course, when they print these knowingly bullshit stories with provocative headlines, they're counting on saps like us linking to it on places like this as we rip into it as much as they count on the right-wing nutters who actually believe that a female scientist who theorised about a way to conceive without a man really wanted to abolish sex (this, again, was an actual story). Whether you believe it or not, when you click on the story they get paid regardless. That's why they do it. Morally bankrupt, exploitative Kitsons, the lot of them.

Watching This morning is very much like reading the mail, 99% of the news quotes they pick come from it.. They feature the ever slimy Quentin Letts as one of their reviewers and you know they will always be the ones to pick up and run with the fictional benefit fiddlers.

Ohh Cussie, what are you called on twitter? if you want to follow a rabid, but satirical maniac look for ladyfreebird750
