They grip my shit how they circumvent the important and concentrate on the obscure, a few examples from today’s chaff.
Beach arrest drama after report man exposed himself at Cullercoats Bay!
Hardly a fucking drama, its not like he was throwing grenades and waving a gun about.

Fuck me there are probably more newsworthy issues in reading, fortunately….

I don’t think that very much happens nowadays either.
To bulk out TV news programmes and to sell newspapers they sensationalise everything.
News reporters love a royal death or a war.
It gives them something to do.
Otherwise they have to fill their time with reporting shite.

War correspondent, you ever met one?
We locked Martin Bell in a Warrior for the offensive and showed him what we thought best.
Next time I saw him he seemed to turn up during cease fires, I have never seen a war correspondent under fire.

A bit like today: Rayner Dodges £40,000 Stamp Duty…Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has reduced her tax bill by declaring her new flat in Hove as her main residence, according to the Daily Telegraph. The paper suggests Rayner has saved £40,000 by making the declaration on her new £800,000 flat, but also makes clear this is “entirely legal”.
If it is entirely legal, why bother telling us about the unwashed, scheming old trout?

Anyone paying for newspapers, either in print or online, ought to be reminded that the corporate press/media hates us just as much as the government and local councils.
You can never despise them enough.

If you look at newspaper websites it’s even worse.
A veritable feast of click bait, often involving part of the first paragraph.
“Meghan reveals all about….”
“TV legend investigated after….”
“Premier league star looks for move to….”
And the eventual ‘reveal’ is inevitably a damp squib.
Even my local paper does it, even when the story is of urgent local interest.
“Major road closed. Police say to avoid after….”
And then they hide the report behind a paywall.
What a bunch of cunts!

Morning FMC/all.
To read any article hidden behind a paywall, just copy the address and go to:
textise.net
And paste the address into the only box.
And you can read a text only version of the page – it works just fine for newspaper articles.

Years ago they were always finding naked prossies in Epping Forest, strangled with their own stockings (which the papers always found especially egregious) invariably found by that man walking his dog (they did get around). Just imagine if it were today “Naked Forest Victim was Rachel Reeves” or “Strangled Tart was Angela Rayner”

I remember seeing that headline and couldn’t wait to turn the pages, to see the scantily clad young ladies inside. At least the penguins were forming an orderly queue.
Its been donkeys years since I’ve bothered to read, or listen to the news. It always ends up annoying me anyway, then why bother. No news is good news in my opinion. I only look for anything of interest to myself which keeps me sane. I do like to find depressing news that makes me laugh my bollocks off and that I find on here.

I’ve never so much as seen an issue of Private Eye but still retain kudos for the fact that when Kate Middleton popped out her first sprog, … every other British paper went apeshit with 3,5,7,9 … and up to 13 pages of superfluous fanfare about it. From hypotheticals (‘what might they name it’, ‘are they planning to have another?’) to ‘interviews’ with cunts that stood across the street from the clinic/hospital every day for a week leading up to it. Fanfare and – of course – column inches, or column yards more like taken up with Union Jack bunting across the top & bottoms of every page …
Private Eye went with ‘Woman has baby’.

Also my favourite ever, from the 80’s, was ‘New York’s upcoming feminist convention to discuss broad agenda’

Sorry, folks, .. but I’d only heard this Private Eye anecdote before ; never actually seen it.
It’s even better than I had imagined all these years…

I only saw the news in Punch Magazine at my doctors surgery, with the royals on the hospital steps holding hands with a baby monkey. The surgery then removed the magazine due to covid. Now I only stare at the linen fold panelling, in the quiet waiting room.

This one today
” New rule for every driveway in England”
It refers to the fact that planning permission is no longer required before installing an EV charger ( who knew you needed it before?), but makes it sound as if it’s something compulsory.
Rule? It’s not a fucking rule, it’s a much needed change to a bit of petty regulation.

Spare a thought for Jess Phillips. She has never seen one – not even her own. As for her husband, “Mr. Phillips” he hasn’t got one either.
“Heartbreaking” as every tabloid newspaper now labels everything. Good morning.
