Mail: a truly despicable article ("nothing 'natural' about Stephen Gately's death")

News 24 reporting from Dublin on the Moir piece said that it didn't seem to bother people there as they "don't get the Mail".

Well, we did when I lived there. Unless it's been discontinued :D

Yep. Findaproperty still being advertised next to the Jan Moir article now. And the Jan Moir article is still being linked to from the big headline article on the funeral (see my post about a page back last night), which I find really distasteful

Morning! I'm going out at 11am. Is there anything to be linked on the Group or has Trashy done it?
 
Can someone change the summary of the facebook group to remove the phrase "today's article", so that anyone bumping into it realises it is still a current group?
 
bk/st3lla; have either of you contacted the obs or similar to rebutt her claim about this being orchestrated by the gay?
 
11.50am - 10.20am = 23.5 hrs

10,349 members / 23.5 = 440 members an hour? Is my maths right? I have a cold

I can't because it has to be kept quiet that I am in any way directly involved in this. 5t3lla can.

Pls write us a press release? :D I woke up thinking about this - I had 'orchestrated by the gay community' running around my head and I want to say 'No, another lie'

I'll ring the Guardian and ask if they want it, like, or something.

excellent. a cloak & dagger twist. :cool:

won't it be easy enough to find out you're involved by anyone who can be bothered to do a bit of digging?

Possibly, and it's not that serious anyway as I did it all in my day off, but it is easier if I don't leap all over it publicly from a work pov. As could confuse clients.
 
I like that point about how this worked as a counterpoint to the Daily Mail's campaign re Ross-Brand-Andrew Sacks. Very interesting that conservative reactionaries use old media, younger liberals new media - we know that's how it would work but it's nonetheless interesting to see it in action.

This is a nice story for the media to examine it's favourite subject, itself.

From their website:

In November 2004 FindaProperty.com was acquired by Associated Newspapers, the publishers of The Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday and Metro.

So, not much point complaining about that ad. :(

ETA - just got to the end of the thread and see BK has already pointed this out. :oops:
