News of the World

[millwall ken]

Yes, and all we'd be left with is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth (YER RIGHT) from the scum at the Guardian.

That would be a little naive Ken.

Of course all journalism has some kind of bias.

However the broad sheets whether left or right.

Don't deal in SLEAZE and its the procurement of SLEAZE that the hacking

started in the first place.

If you really want to do something then don't support Murdoch

Can't stand Murdoch or his rags, but people like to read about scandal and sex I'm afraid - everyone loves gossip. However please don't say that papers like the Guardian do not undertake illegal and morally bankrupt practices. I have a very good friend who writes and researches this very topic.
How am I being naive? You take away the right-wing press and then all that you're left with is PC rags like the Guardian and Independant. How is that going to ensure a fair and balanced media?

Who was forcing these millions of people to buy the NOTW anyway?

They bought it by choice, they looked at the ridiculous headlines and actually decided that they wanted that paper!

Personally, I like The Sunday Times, it lasts me 3 days and I don't care who owns it, it's a good read and even better value!

I don't believe I have said that Ken

practices. I have a very good friend who writes and researches this very topic.

I wasn't saying your naive

Your point was if they got rid of the red tops we would be left with the truth.

That would be naive to think that .

You take away the right-wing press and then all that you're left with is PC rags like the Guardian and Independant. How is that going to ensure a fair and balanced media?

You need two or more opposing sides to have a balanced media

Telegraph,Times right leaning Guardian Indepentant left leaning.

Its good to have a choice . My point is The REd Tops are full of lies and

sleaze . If you took the back page over a year how many of the transfer

rumours work out to be true. Its pure fantasy and should not be allowed .

I for one will be sorry to see the passing of the News of the World,

It had good Quality paper,
Nice big pages,

Have to order some proper toilet tissue now and ......

I used to buy this Ken, all the weeks news culled from all the broadsheets

home and abroad . The problem for was it was such a good read I wasn't

getting through my books.
