# 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.

# 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.

# ^This.
I take stick all the time, it's just one of those things.
