Besides, have you seen how long their articles are? Fucking massive, and they use long words like "Miscontraception" and "Intuative" (only spelt right).

The ones I really hate are ones like the sun, who use random full upcasing on words and they
try to speak to you like they're a politition who's just walked into the roughest pub in the UK.

OUR BOYS up front in the hellzone of HELMAND provance today were barrasic, so we sent 'em a fiver to sor' 'em ou'. THE SUN can report that THE LADS of the first squarden were WELL CHUFFED with the fiver.

Some of you lot are gonna laugh at me with this, but when Diana died, that was the day I realised that 99% of the news reporting press is full of shit.
Remember, I was about 10 or whatever, so I had never been around for their previous failings at an age where I understood the bullshit behind it (eg, the falklands reporting, Iraq 1?, whatever).

I was really confused because for the last 3 years all I read was how this lady was a 'scarlet harlot', was cheating on the future king of the country, shagging the son of an arabic man, doing charity stuff just so she can get friendly with celebs... all of that. Then suddenly she's dead and she's the princess of our hearts. All these years and the Daily Express still manage to dredge up her past (guilt?).

I just thought to myself, at the time, "This is some poor boys's* mother, who they've just lost. If I lost my ma' I'd be gutted, let alone being constantly reminded about this'n'that".

I honestly don't trust the press, esspesh TV, where in my brief run ins, they stage everything and really don't give a shit how much it effects someone's life. And if you're not a company, they'll fob off payment big time.

Diana was a lunatic slut.
And you use a possessive apostrophe - just do not add the s.

Not really, she doesn't seem to have any bad intentions from my point of view.
I started out trolling the typical "Diana was a slag" people, 'cus it's an ovbouse point of view (to me, it's on par with "The police are pigs")... but the more I think about it, the more I think she's a fundementally good person.

I'd rather she got what she strived for in the world, than someone like Katie Price.

She did some good
But she WAS a weirdo stalker.

I didn't like her (or her reported actions, more accurately), but she wasn't a bad person - she had a crap existence really, but... she cheated on her husband and had a son by a ginger (I know he wasn't faithful), she made harrassing phone calls and she was a bit mad. And a bit of a slapper.

Not to worry Gonz, I was only 8 when it happened, so it was new to me too!
I learned about bias in the press when I was out of school for a few months, during the fuel blockade in 2000. My Dad made me study different newspapers, so I could understand how they each had their own take on it.

Was certainly eye-opening, although not necessarily interesting.

I think it's a good lesson, they should do that in all schools.

in the last days before we left school
our teacher, in his "wear sunscreen"-type speech to us all, said the most important advice he could give us for the future would be to learn how to critique and interpret news media.

It's dull, I'm really not bothered by seeing a pair of tits in the paper of some tart with a 'quote' by her on something political or scientific, using a vocab that I really doubt came from here.
"I think that the repocusions and revinance of the western occupation in Iraq will echo in the sands of time for centuries to come. I am most flustered by the indication that the war was under false pretences.... tee hee, and I got my tits out. tee hee".

Oh, but they're always hilarious
"I think the ramifications of the removal of the requirement to be impartial in news coverage in the USA have been demonstrably negative, and this weeks events prove it to us once again. I like glitter!"

Except, this being The Sun, they would never think what I just said.

Not so much, no
