The unacceptable face of British journalism

Without any shame, British "journalists" exploit terrorism in London and Manchester to make political gain for their own ends.

National newspapers will endorse a political party dependant upon the view of the proprietor and the editorial management. We may not agree with their endorsement, but it is their decision.
Today, one "newspaper" carries an endorsement for Theresa May and her conservatives on a front page which is the most scurrilous and reprehensible front page since their coverage of the Hillsborough disaster some 27 years ago.
Under the pretense of conducting "an investigation", this "newpaper" unashamedly cashes in on the terrorist atrocities of the last three months by linking a speech made many years ago to a large rally, attended by some 10,000 people, to terrorist events in London and Manchester in the last three months.
Over the course of its history since first being published in 1964, this "newspaper" has managed to avoid any retribution for its reporting of events by using the "freedom of the press" argument, which they clearly belive allows them to publish anything about anyone they choose no matter how scandalous, outrageous or distorted such publication may be and no matter how offensive the reader may find the "story".
It is an outrage and perversion that these journalistic leeches have been allowed to exploit their apparent immunity for so many years.
Should their idol, so entusiastically endorsed this morning, ever have the opportunity to, "tear uphuman rights laws and clear away barriers to fighting terror", she would do well to remove this "newspaper's" protection and that of its proprietor, close down all their operating premises and intern all their staff, without trial or due process, for an indefinite period.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria. This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
