“If it’s news, it’s news to us”

    Paxman has a general sneer at the world of the Media: The Invention of News by Andrew Pettegree The news – noisy, self-important and often pointless?   I wonder if he meant those lap dogs at Cardiff University who provide the BBC with so much academic cover for their bias when he said this?….. Reporters in rehab (now often posing as professors of media studies) have endlessly tried … Continue reading

The March Of Progress

    Houses are being built across an ever more wide area of this green and pleasant land…on the green belt, in flood plains and now in National Parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty. The BBC isn’t interested in the real reason all these new homes are ‘needed’.

Taking The Micky

    Wake Up To Money’s Micky Clark must be good mates with Russell Brand or something.   Last week he told us that the Government was lying to us about low unemployment figures….this week he continues the theme (8 mins) saying we may be being duped by employers and politicians about the ‘good news on employment’…the employment figures are open to manipulation he tells us.   So…again he is … Continue reading

Mental health services ‘in crisis’   Note that link to ‘Mental health services ‘in crisis’…..an old story from last year…however not so keen to link to more recent news……. …… just … Continue reading
