Right new thread.
I'm totally going to have a newsgasm today, the select commitees are going to be excellent later and the only thing the news hacking story needed was a body ( www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14194623 ).

And maybe some marital problems www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jul/18/mystery-bag-bin-rebekah-brooks

I'm bored of the endless hawking
of every minute detail. This is a pretty big scandal, certainly, but last week it was the Duke and Duchess's visit to Canada.

You can't get away from it. I'd like to hear about something different happening, not be constantly bombarded from all directions by analyses of all the tiny facets of this week's story.

It's *boring*

Kroney, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 10:01, Reply)

Hey, Kroney!
The 'news' is regularly fucking dull, and every tedious little story is eked out into an EPIC SAGA because there's not enough genuinely interesting stuff to fill the nosey, boring-lifed requirements of the mongs, proles and spastics who devour it voraciously.

On the whole if you read only the headlines you have more than enough to go on. Much more, unless the contents of Cheryl Cole's kippery minge hold a morbid fascination for you.

Hope this helps x

I stopped looking at news websites
because I watch television and listen to the radio. All the news bulletins focus overwhelmingly on the main story. If I add news websites on top of that I'd claw my eyes out.

Unfortunately I don't have time to take a paper in the mornings otherwise I'd do that instead. Obviously by the time I get home in the evenings, I've been battered by dull, tedious dullness and no longer give the tiniest shit about the rest of the world.

www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/egypts-indiana-jones-antiquities-minister-zahi-hawass-sacked/story-e6frg6so-1226097094549

This UTTER, UTTER CUNT has been sacked. I hate him with a passion - 'Egypt's Indiana Jones' is about right: a fictional knob-end with barely any connection to serious archaeology, he's ruined almost every Egypt documentary made in the last ten years with his wild sensationalist speculation dressed as 'definite fact'. Hopefully he will be executed.

It is nice to see the bad guys getting screwed for once
but my joy is tempered by the knowledge that while I'm pretty sure that Murdoch, several people in the police and quite likely people in government, were in the know if not actively involved, all will either avoid prosecution or if arrested, charged and actually convicted, get Jeffrey Archer style holidays before getting on with their rich, privileged and corrupt lives.

(Poppet some assembly required., Tue 19 Jul 2011, 10:43, Reply)

Lets be honest, This isn't even about the scandal anymore.
This is about systematically destroying the highly effective and innovative global media empire Mr Murdoch has work so hard throughout his life to build up. Why shouldn't he own BSkyB, after he risked everything to provide a world class service to millions of Brits and Irish.
Would the BBC and the newly re-Ideological Labour look upon this so harshly if this was Trinity Mirror? Would they my Arse.
I struggle to see how this is the Fault of the Murdochs.
When a rape is committed in a rented house, one does not apportion blame on the landlord.

You can shut the fuck up RIGHT now.
Media concentration is quite a large threat to the country. Secondly, need I remind you that it is in the BBC's mandate to actually have reporting from a neutral standpoint. Trinity Mirror is just one part of a larger press, of which 80% is mostly Tory-leaning anyway.

If you want a simple reason as to why Murdoch shouldn't own BSkyB, look at Fox News.

So shit the fuck off.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Tue 19 Jul 2011, 10:22, Reply)

If you want a look at why biased news should be allowed, look at MSNBC or one of the Democrat channels.
Left wing channels would cancel out the influence from Right Wing ones such as Fox UK.

Fox News isn't just biased, they actively distort facts and ignore anything that doesn't fit into their warped world view.

Utter bollocks,
that's all fair enough if it's packaged as entertainment or discussion.
It's absolutly incompatable with the idea of news. Are you saying if you ask any watcher of news in America if they want to hear accurate unbiased news they'll say "no, I want biased inacurate news please" consumer choice only counts if there is a viable alternative.
(PsychoChomp, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 10:36, Reply)

y'know just because they are left of your position, does not make then biased.
I find them shockingly pro-authority and rather right wing at times, but I suspect this is because I am a commie/anarchist and they actually represent a fairly middle of the road viewpoint somewhere between your EDL sympathies and my desire to smash the state and instantiate a mutualist utopia (joke).

Its hard to prove such statements until one has been one opened up and we are allowed to see it fail or succeed on its own merits.
There may be a large enough minority of willing viewers to sustain it anyway. This is the choice of and business of the viewers, and it would be silly to take it away fro them because "over 50% object" to something that doesn't affect them or any other unwilling participant at all.

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 11:09, Reply)

A couple of points;
Rape is typically a crime of passion, and as such is rarely planned. Whilst one would not blame a landlord for a singular rape in his property, if a group of people were using a prominent, lucrative residence to persistently commit aggravated sexual assault over a period of several years, any landlord who claimed to have no idea of the goings on would have to be an idiot or a liar.

Secondly, the idea of Sky News becoming more like Fox News should fill anyone who watches it with horror, unless they are a complete fucking idiot.

:-)

I prefer BBC to Sky because they're a bit less sensationalist. But Fox News UK, in whatever format, would be obscene.

Because, you blithering idiot:
1: Monopolies are illegal. This is what Murdoch is trying to get and this is why there was controversy over him buying out BSkyB before this scandal hit. BSkyB is our biggest broadcaster. Almost everything that is not the BBC is owned by BSkyB

2: Biased media is not a good thing. Even a schoolchild such as you ought to be able to see that. Biased media makes it easy for powerful people to sweep things they don't want to acknowledge under the carpet. Fox News, for example, has not reported a single thing on the phone hacking scandal, not a sausage. With all our media controlled by one man, nothing detrimental to Murdoch would get reported.

3: Rupert Murdoch is a conniving, sly, dirty fucking bastard.

The problem is
that in a free market, such as you would like to see, one will often see one hugely successful and rich man/company becoming an effective monopoly, as dear Rupert is in danger of doing, left to his own devices. One might argue that he is clearly good at what he does to have done so well, and this may be true, but what he is good at may well be pandering to people's fears and prejudices, rather than providing fair and balanced news. Just because it sells does not make it right, although I suppose you would argue otherwise.

Fuck anyone who talks down your musical taste, frankly.

(The Luggage is haunted..., Tue 19 Jul 2011, 11:34, Reply)

Pretty much
it's all subjective, and happy as I am to hear someone explain how wonderful what they like is, deriding stuff you don't like is only fun if you're slating something you both hate with a friend.

Edited to add: My musical taste can be pretty fucking sketchy at times though.

You are doing, you're just doing the right wing equivolent
Being all radical and libertarian, and once you get older you'll become more conservative and Tory and settle down. I did similar I was more of an anarchist when younger (which is really just a less cunty libertarian) and as I get older I get more and more Marxist, it's just different sides of the political coin, combined with your inability to see that you are 16 and your views will change and mature as you do.
