To much influence kaine from a certain "republican" ex aussie and his newspapers.. The UK governments have always run scared of him (Sun/NoW voters), and post iraq enquiries, the BBC is no longer a public service Another Pommie Bar Steward down under MY20 Defender 110 SE P400 Eiger/Ebony MY10 3.0 RRS TDv6 Fuji/Ebony/Anigre Last edited by Zilch on Sun Sep 05 2010 11:49pm.

The very same people who use the press to promote their image? I'm afraid if you sleep with the devil expect to get burnt - if the likes of Rooney want to be left alone do not sell your wedding to a magazine, do sponsorship deals for this and that. They trade off their image so if in reality their life isn't what they portray then I have no sympathy! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

I totally disagree with breaking the law to get a story but if some hooker comes to the paper and tells her side of a story I see no harm in publishing it. Newspapers are a business and need to make money. They use celebrities to make money in many ways and celebrities are happy when it's favourable but cry when it isn't - Tough! With this Rooney case it would seem that it's true yet he and his wife are happy to portray a happy family to whichever publication waves a cheque in front of their eyes.

for example William Hague in the news this week - the Beeb did a 10 min piece on it during one news programme during the week, plus it was all over Radio4 - who care's - I appreciate its a tabloid headline to get people to buy the paper, but actually its a non story - madness |

Not a game at all - just business. I would bet that more copies of the N.O.W. were sold this Sunday than it would usually sell because of this story which would prove that this is what the readers want. What one person finds interesting another finds dull! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Predicting or the usual leakage, the BBC fundamentally changed after the Hutton enquiry, you know where the BBC were blamed at the behest of Campbell/BLIAR by a so called impartial no white washable problems here group of lackeys. So in the new world post Hutton perhaps they get as many snippets / leaks as murdochs rags do or did in the past. so tell it as the govt requests, rather than "investigate" or "report" in an unbiased manner. VA in regard to "if they are guilty" by virtue of the amount of information that was found in terms of compromised account data and the number of journalists that had access, Royal correspondents, Sports etc, that would lead me to suggest that this was broader than just one or two rogues.. I just hope that the police enquiry is reopened, is impartial and not put under undue pressure by Government to appease a certain news baron Another Pommie Bar Steward down under MY20 Defender 110 SE P400 Eiger/Ebony MY10 3.0 RRS TDv6 Fuji/Ebony/Anigre |
