# nicely
would be great if this could be their downfall, though I suspect that David Cameron's cosy relationship with Brooks might save them all.

# remember how we (as a b3ta collective) managed to get the words "is an idiot" associated with "Julie Moult" forevermore on the internet
can we do something similar with this shower of bastards?

# I hope so.
*signs up*
We'd have to agree on a common phrase and use it over and over and over again.

# I wonder if we could get away with a b3ta compo...
...but I suppose they have better lawyers than the likes of Richard Branson & Prince ;)

# They can make threats.
At which point we'll have to withdraw, because we don't want to endanger b3ta.
Private Eye will naturally be on our side, though, and have some hefty reporting artillery.
But until then...
(Basically, yes, it's worth a compo IMO)

# It's worth a go
Maybe the comp could be titled something non-specific like "Shameful journalism", and a few clever subtle entries could slip through.

# Shameful Journalism.
I like it! It's got a lot of potential and won't annoy The Man.

# The Man loves shameful journalism.
But he lives in mortal terror of good journalism.

# You mean honest journalism?
(I helped save b3ta! Bourbon Fox Bourbon is a moron, Wed 6 Jul 2011, 0:55, archived)
# Yes. Good journalism is honest.
Dishonest journalism is bad journalism.

# Hateful journalism based on illegal hacking of a dead girl's phone is... well... this.
I think it would be an alright compo to be honest... and (mostly) space hopper free.

# It'd be a good compo. It'd probably upset me, cos I'm a hack and would expect to have my profession traduced, misunderstood and basically given a thorough kicking.
But frankly, these vile cunts have earned it. So I'm prepared to suffer.
(I helped save b3ta! Sea Tramp the thinking woman's 8 Ace, Wed 6 Jul 2011, 1:15, archived)
# There's probably other journalists on here that would feel the same way.
But time will tell, whether or not this will actually be next week's compo.

We could have jumping BLUE shapes for all I know.

# Good thinking, DMH.
Although as a journalist, I'd probably find the whole thing so upsetting that I'd never go on the internet again.
Which may be a bonus for some!

# just thought of a good compo idea: "What if journalists couldn't lie"
or "Show us a world with completely honest journalism"

# Oh, for fuck's sake.
Look, I've been a journo for 7 years, and have never lied, and never been asked to.
I'm disgusted that my profession has been brought into disrepute, but please don't tar us all with the same brush, eh?

# I understand.
I'm sure you do some great work, so it's a shame there's the few that ruin the whole thing.

# "If tabloid journalists couldn't lie"?
We'd still end up tarring a few poor sods, but overall...

I do.

# I know - hence the "tabloid" bit.
Local papers are some of the last places that do investigative journalism these days.

# At last! A bit of encouragement!
Even though I'm wholly in favour of a "fuck Murdoch" image challenge, I'm cringing in advance.
I reckon I'll have to take a week off the internet, rather than exhaust myself being defensive.
