Click Bait Reporting

On the 25th March, 7 days ago, the Birmingham Mail reported this

Birmingham mail

This ” snow blast”, according to the article, is due to start April 7th.

Today, the same paper has published an article about a mini two-week heatwave, with temperatures rising to as much as 20°, from April 5th.
How the hell are they allowed to get away with this shit? At the very least, it’s click bait, and actually very irresponsible.

There must have been folk who panicked at the thought of a cold snap, and heavy snow in areas.

Do they apologise? Is there a whoops, sorry, we got it wrong? Of course not.

I, for one, will not be reading anything they publish again, as they are obviously NOT a reliable news source.

  1. The Mail and Express put out this sort of shite all the time. Often the headline bit doesnt actually appear in the story.

    • The Mail are obsessed with cancer, more specifically extremely tenous claims concerning the latest causes of cancer.

      Drinking more than 3 pints a week.
      Total abstinence from alcohol.
      Sleeping too much.
      Not sleeping enough.
      Being overweight.
      Being underweight.

      These are all genuine examples.

      In recent years they have also focused a lot more on alzeimhers, and how everybody has probably already got it but won’t know for another 30 years.

      Daily newspapers are no better than comics.

      • For sure – another example – often repeated by them is “I am a 40 year old mother. My doctor diagnosed anxiety – now I have terminal cancer” Age, sex and occupation vary, and so does the simple illnesses – however the last four words are always the same.

        There are so many of these stories it is the true definition of doom-scrolling.

        Why not some hope-inducing, uplifting stories like “Rachel From Accounts Kicked In the Cunt” or “Wes Streeting Arrested in Public Lavatory – his act of gross indecency meand he goes from blow job to no-job”

        Something to get the spirits raised at breakfast time.

  2. The reporters for the Birmingham Mail are cut from the same clothe as Birmingham binmen.

    They’re like the Express that’s always promising either a weather bomb of sub Arctic temperatures or
    A heatwave so dangerous that Coventry could melt.

    None of it ever materialises.

    The Birmingham Maul are the cunts who put out the story that our new National Dish is… Curry🤮

    This was then picked up on and run by other shitrags likes the Sun newspaper.

    Fish and chips is our national dish.
    Not something that looks like the contents of a baby’s nappy.

  3. OT but I’ve just read that the supreme court is going to issue the legal definition of a woman at about 09:45 today. It won’t change my view whether they give the correct definition or a fucking stupid perverse one.

      • Well I never, a cock in a frock isn’t a woman after all.

        Could someone please tell Rodney? He’s not terribly bright.

    • Bad news for MR Eddie Izzard – a bloke with a pair of plastic tits is not, in law a wimminz. At last a judge who is not talking out of his arse.

      Another big surprise “Tommy Robinson” has lost his appeal. Now that is a shock.

      • Came as a shock l was expecting bumfoolery to be compulsory last week of each month. But no the angel of common sense did smite the woke a mighty blow. According to msm stonewall are concerned, various tranny groups ranting their usual bollocks and hopefully a reason for telling fucking deviants to fuck off out of womens changing rooms. Looking forward to exercising a tiny bit of freedom of speech.

  4. These papers seem to use code as well.

    Far Right – mainstream

    Weatherbomb- summer rain

    Music business insider – bloke in a record shop

    Legend-. Extra on Hollyoaks

    Diverse-shithole

    Community – ghetto

    Councillor – thief

      • ‘Get our inside take’ – we made it up.

        ‘An anonymous source says’ – we made it up.

        ‘A Palace insider says’ – we made it up.

        ‘Breaking news!’ – irrelevant gossip or yesterday’s news with a slightly different description.

        ‘Lone wolf, isolated incident’ – stabby ethnic stabbing people.

        ‘Reassure the community’- trying to prevent blacks from rioting.

        The winner is – any photograph of William and Kate’s rancid brat with headlines such as ‘Adorable, cute, cheeky’ etc. No, he’s a little shit that needs thrashing.

      • That is ALL this wickle skirmish over in sandier climes is garnering, by the pro mosque-ito cunts.

        ‘Some cunt’ (untraceable) said …. blah blah blah.

        In court that’s called hearsay, and is inadmissible as evidence.

        Last week I saw them crossing the line from ‘a Hamas insider’ (jesus christ!) .. to an IDF soldier speaking to Al Jazeera who wouldn’t share his identity, … exclusively telling them a
        a slew of stuff that perfectly fit their agenda.

        You could dream up such articles sitting on the toilet. And they probably do. Both sides, of course… but .. aah .. fuck ’em.. made my point well enough. ..

  5. I only read the ‘cunt daily’ I find it the only publication that gets to the nitty gritty of real people,truth,integrity,scoops, excellent tips & insights 👀…my only gripe is that it seems a rather niche journal and that the vast majority of the population are unaware of its existence… Step forward a magnate with untold wealth and a bizarre sense of…err bizarreness 😩

  6. One thing that boils my piss is the constant use of the word “heartbreaking” (or do they mean “fartbreaking”?) in so many headlines “TV Soap Stars Heartbreaking X Post”, “Mum’s heartbreaking discovery” (her washing machine has broken down). “Pop Singer’s Heartbreak” (his latest royalty cheque has been lost in the post). “See our heartbreaking photos”. “Elton John’s heartbreaking health update” (his farmers are playing him up again)

    The other thing that runs it a close second is the many adverts for quack medicines and diets “Top Cardiologist BEGS you not to eat this vegetable” (I saw that one this morning, don’t know what the fuck it was, couldn’t be bothered to read two pages of fiction). Dietician BEGS you to drink simple whatever at bedtime. No professional person would “beg” anyone to do anything. If you don’t want their advice they couldn’t give a fuck.

    Oh and that daft ugly tramp Stacey Solomon and her cretinous, moronic husband and Martin Lewis seem to crop up every day doing or saying something that nobody could give a flying fuck about.

    Good morning.

    Begging and heartbreaking – who needs it?

  7. Off topic

    When did Eamonn Holmes become Chinese?
    Thought he was Irish?
    But having my breakfast got GB news on, thought they had North Korean leader Kim Jong un in for a interview but no,
    Eamonn.

    • Morning MNC, I reckon he’s now so fat that his eyes are getting compressed.
      Either that or he’s got a budding brain tumour.

      • He’s certainly fat Thomas, like a fuckin barrage balloon behind that desk.
        Can hear his chair creaking under the stress.

        But his eyes have gone slitty and his teeth are buck.

        Is there some disease that can turn you chunky?

        Fu manchu flu

    • Rubbish-infested Birmingham’s rats are the size of cats, Sam.

      No, I don’t believe it either.

      Make it tigers and just as deadly, then I’ll believe it.

      • If the rats are getting bigger then can the Brummies expect bigger portion sizes at their local curry houses?

      • Indeed, Geordie.
        And from what I`ve seen of the indigenous `residents` in the news reports, I would have thought that they would be rejoicing in the fact that its probably a damn site cleaner than the shitholes most of them have come from.
        💩😷

  8. It all started to go very wrong when Freddy Starr ate some poor cunts hamster.

    British journalism never recovered and is easily comparable today to tramps puke.

    Oh and when they got rid of Page 3 Birds they had to come up with a new way to sell their toilet roll…Hey Presto!!

    Click bait bollocks was born.

    All Round Bad Eggs.

    Good morning.

    • Can I just say here, .. that the lovely Melinda Messenger never got a mention last week when page 3 got a few posts in the Death of Journalism topic.

      She was a bit later in the day, I guess, than Fox/Lusardi etc. but still …

      Also this little 11th hour line from over there that went pretty much unseen.

      Page 3 girl covered in a head-to-floor black sheet?

      Sharia Whittaker.

      Carry on….

  9. At least make them more genuine like the london bus found at the north pole, or wellington bomber found on the moon, good old sunday sport, is it still available? Asking for a friend.

  10. Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far
    Today is the hottest day of the year so far
    Tomorrow will be the hottest day of the year so far.

    Climate change

  11. The Birmingham Mail is click bait. Mostly it’s drives to pay hundreds more for blah blah blah. Ever since brum became part of the third world nothing good comes from it.

  12. Different day, different topic, …but the same root cause.

    Retard level TV, shows, retard level ads, retard level ‘journalism’, retard level comedians …

    Y’ should be less afraid of each symptom individually, and be in a spiral of morbid realisation that all this shit exists, at such lowbrow standards, because it IS the new standard. If unadulterated shit as Love Island garners several million viewers … that is several million unsophisticatedly moronic cunts that clearly think watching that is a good use of their time. So the ads shown during same are equally shallow & moronic … slippery slope down down all the way. …

    Depraved indifference to the species overall is how I adapted to cope with it all. 🤪

  13. Makes one realise the reason that the majority of subjects know fuck all about the real problems affecting our benighted Isle. Swamped with shite and little time to discover the reality. Fed a diet of lies and disinformation (song in that). Minds so full of bullshit cannot be bothered to look further cos all they find is more of the same crap. When you read of gays for Gaza you know they have not got a fucking clue. Been going on for years, CND was basically run by the Stasi, politicians having meetings with company bosses foreign agents and so on dividing up the spoils. Just got worse, so many laws favouring those who follow the narrative espoused by whoever “leads” us
    It’s easier to swallow the click bait, suck it up. So easy when something tells you how to think.

    • I await with bated breathe,
      Sat on my sled wearing snow pants, balaclava and my mittens.

      Although, Birmingham mail might not be far off,
      The temperature has dropped dramatically here!

      From 20+ to about 7 degrees.

      Be one of those ‘weatherbombs’ they’re always on about…

  14. I’m laughing at the thought of prisoners being let out for their few minutes daily yard exercise, regardless of the weather. Do they still do that ? Just wondered due to never having been caught.

    • The courts have ruled that a woman is a biological woman.

      Loads of hairy Mary’s, Karen Nococks, and fishsuppers are celebrating outside the court.

      Of course trans women are women!

      They have a certificate that says so.

      Does this mean my “official boob inspector ‘ certificate is no longer valid?

      A sad day for women’s boxing it really is…

      • That JK Rowdy who writes books about speccy wizards is over the moon about the ruling.

        She should do a topless photo shoot to celebrate!

        She hates trannys does JK.
        Can’t blame her.

    • Who indeed Doc, great news! I admit I’m not accustomed to associating the judiciary with common sense. I think I can detect a chink of light at the end of this dark tunnel.

  15. Global warming or Climate change…ffs, got Ed Sillicunt that useless spare prick at a hoors wedding a job tho. Same for that vile Greta Thunderburg.
