Charlie Hebdo Atrocity

Any response to that question would be entirely subjective and, therefore, of little value.

 

sorry glid just one more time then i will ditch the media thing. this is the whole point regarding charli.
i don't think i am on my own when it comes to distrust of the media, and who can we blame for that.

 

I'll have to fine you for repetition I'm afraid. Twice actually. Once for repetition and once for passive aggression.

I gave genuine answers about the nature of the press informed by my experiences working for it and studying for my MA.

It's now your turn to put the counter arguments ...

 

You are right to distrust the media. I do. Come to your own conclusions. We want you to distrust everything and everyone until you receive the proofs you demand. Scepticism is very healthy. It's the debate that's important as it helps people form opinions and views on how to react. That's why we must never let fascists of any persuasion win.

 

kind of what i was wanting to hear and respect you for saying it. i aint no activist by the way.

 

I can't be arsed, either........



My prostrate gland is in the way.

 

go on, it's easy.

 

Anyway, I am off I the gym now. Elsie has offered me outside and I've got to work on my upper-body strength. Later ...

 

Though I'd like someone to address the points I make below while I'm punching hell out of a large sack filled with sand if they wouldn't mind!

 

Oxford University Press bans sausages and pigs from children's books to avoid offending Jews and Muslims | Daily Mail Online

I suppose bangers and chips will soon be off the menu in the UK at this rate.

 

no thanks you is to ard for me.

 

See, the Daily Mail does have some uses.

 

You brought up Levison. I thought you'd jump at the opportunity to explore the issue further. If you don't I'll have to assume that you concede my point.

 

no worries, language barrier. goan punch the shit out that bag, been years since i done all that

 

I just restarted boxing training (only) at nearly 59!

 

I distrust politicians and big business more than I distrust the media, for good reason.

Levison refused to look into the lies and deception of big business - which was using phone hacking to a far greater extent than journalists - and politicians uncovered by, you guessed it, journalists because it was not within his remit. The inquiry was set up only to punish newspapers, you see, and was not strictly necessary because all of the offences committed were covered by existing laws. The political classes' agenda to silence the press was never clearer. Who was it that blew open the MPs' expenses scandal? Oh yes, journalists on the Telegraph. Who was if that blew open the grooming scandals and the paucity of the police and local authority response to it? Oh yes, journalists on The Times. Coincidence, I think not! .

 

cool, keep it in the jim. probably a handy skill in your line of work.

 

In the past... Then only once, when Alan Minter threatened to take me out when I was a junior reporter! But that's another story.
