You will forever be Margo in my mind.....<br /><br />What really gets to me is the way the truth is selectively reported, biased, and often grossly distorted in our newspapers, but if anyone complains or demands some privacy, they go all pious about freedom of the press.rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679999832936208492.post-13933561762802510312011-01-07T10:40:21.044+00:002011-01-07T10:40:21.044+00:00That made me giggle, I hate the 'red tops'...That made me giggle, I hate the 'red tops' too, awful how they stole your piece of journalism and misconstrued it.

I puffed up with pride, until they said: 'It was under my fishcake.'<br />I prefer what you did with Page 3 of The Sun. <br />I have no time for the nationals, even the sniffy broadsheets, whose focus at weekends is very London-biased. But hoorah for local papers - good ones are part of the lifeblood of our communities.maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479893496291590397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679999832936208492.post-14476493182401274592011-01-07T09:26:17.635+00:002011-01-07T09:26:17.635+00:00Preseli Margo!

You're training him young; good for you! <br />Bear kinda feels the same way, except they pay him, so we can't trash the papers entirely.Miss Sadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569594607534260565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679999832936208492.post-57919438748549538512011-01-07T00:01:41.204+00:002011-01-07T00:01:41.204+00:00That young dog is such a cutie, and probably will ...That young dog is such a cutie, and probably will not be bothered at all about which newspaper is daily company.<br /><br />I love how the puppy experience gets into another highway, re journalism, then, now, perhaps to eternity.<br /><br />Never having worked in The Media, but knowing some who have, it really is pretty awful how thievery takes place, and how integrity leaves town.<br /><br />Wikileaks.

Last week I read an article about a taxonomy research project at Kew - complete tosh, said my cousin, who has worked on the project for 18 months! The same happens time and agin; I have NEVER read an accurate article about something I truly knew about. And that I think, is no through the malice of journalists - it is something to do with process of writing a 'story', editorialising, seeking an angle, failing to research, the pressure of deadlines...<br /><br />Nick Davies book, Flat Earth News is a brilliant and brave expose of modern news media.The bike shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05195882998271591934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679999832936208492.post-3108815469897938002011-01-06T20:05:29.683+00:002011-01-06T20:05:29.683+00:00I tend to agree that you are making the best (and ...I tend to agree that you are making the best (and only acceptable) use of the red tops in your home. <br /><br />I know others who've had bad experiences with their stories or words being twisted and I boggle at people knowing this happens but still believing what they say. It's scary. <br /><br />Pup is very, very cute, btw, Margo. ;-)Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719765628886270649noreply@blogger.com
