Missing Milly Dowler's voicemail "hacked by News of the World"

[past caring]

I've never bought that line. People don't read newspapers as if they were fiction - they believe the stories they read. I've yet to meet someone who reads the Sun every day and is not ignorant about politics in general.

I've yet to meet someone who reads the Guardian every day who is not one supercilious snobbish cunt.

From Guardian blog -

"BSkyB shares went into freefall as Cameron was speaking... down 15.5p at 796.5p, or 1.9%, my colleague Julia Kollewe tells me."

He is going to get let off the hook though isn't he?
There will be a shitstorm all over but it would take a LOT to get him even to apologise I think.

he kept repeating that he'd tried to give coulson a "second chance" but external circumstances meant that this wasn't a success - when someone asked him surely he'd asked coulson as to the possibility of any veracity to the accusations, he simply resorted back to this defence, which was feeble quite frankly.

I assume you think it is snobbish to make a judgement about reading the Sun but not about reading the Guardian?

I think it's ridiculous to wish to condemn a paper and everything it stands for - which I would when it comes to the Sun - to despise the view of the world that it promotes, but then not to say anything about the people who lap it all up. People who read the Sun are not innocent lambs. They are complicit in the process by which that nasty shit is published.

I thought he was having a laugh at your catch all anecdata.

Comedy gold.

You mean that the kind of generalisation lbj came out with might be a bit inaccurate? (as well as being patronising guff)

 

[frogwoman]

Believe it or not I used to know Deirdre. All those stories are actually true, she gets hundreds of letters each week.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers: The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; The Financial Times is read by people who own the country; The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country; And The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is. Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.

 

[Kizmet]

What if you read both?

hang about, a bloke at work used to bring in a copy of it every day and he was lovely

Not mentioned much yet - Press Complaints Commission fucked as well. Made a laughing stock by events.

Shouldn't that be in quotes, with attribution?

Lizzie tries new humorous angle in an effort to attract attantion...

Old as the hills and severely miss-quoted. Well done.

Yup, and a good thing too.

you can say that about any product though

people who drink coca-cola are not innocent lambs. They are complicit in the process by which that nasty shit is produced.

Maybe you should meet my ex husband then - he is an anarchist who was in Class War. He buys (bought - don't know if he still does) it for the football coverage.

 

[Kizmet]

Not that much of a football fan, then.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

That's not really comparable. I'm not talking about the way its workers are treated. I'm talking about the stories it publishes, how it gets them and what they say.

There is nothing morally wrong about the taste of coca-cola.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

Shouldn't that be in quotes, with attribution?

Well it's so obviously a quote from Yes Minister. I didn't think it would be necessary!

 

[Kizmet]

You can say that about almost anything.

 

[London_Calling]

Well it's so obviously a quote from Yes Minister. I didn't think it would be necessary!

Of course you didn't.

It's more a case of ElizabethofBork.

 

[claphamboy]

you forgot the daily star.......

plus The Independent, the 'i', and the Metro.

Old crap, is old.
