UK news papers/station one sided

[DaveTaylor]

ye, the news don't care about whats happening out there its whats happening in the UK which is what they care about, they don't realise people can see this on the local news stations etc and they will never realise they need to show whats happening in the world today not jus the small uk

There was something about Kate Lawler from one of the early BB's getting drunk and licking chocolate off peoples fingers in the news yesterday, like anybody cares? Everyone gets pissed and does something a bit mad every now and again, whereas a war is a bit more important. I know there have been tensions around the Gaza Strip area for years, but as far as I know nothing this severe for a long time.

The news exists to sell, 100 people could die, but Pete from BB might stab himself by mistake, and the 100 deaths would be pushed back a few pages so Pete could be on the front page. I'd much rather read news, not hear that some tourettes guy stabbed himself. Stupid example, I know, but you get my point.

That actually is a good point. Priorities do seem very skewed in the news which often skews the viewer's perception of what is more important. The Iraq war should be making the US front page every day, but its not. Probably because people are sick of it/bored of it/hear it every day/want to get away from it. Newspapers' jobs are to print what news people want to read about, and I find it obsurd sometimes what people want to read about.:rolleyes:

for once i made a good thread lol back to topix, red and ryan are right people read the "news"papers for more uk gossip now adays

[Rizla]

I hate this time of year, everytime I look at a newspaper theres something about BB on the frontpage. It doesn't even have to be about what's happening inside the house, it could be about one of the ex-housemates.

headlines tomorrow "z0mg pete said W****** for the 200th time"

[Rizla]

Haha, probably, knowing the shit the papers print these days. The media is a horrible tool, if a newspaper kicks up a fuss about something, such as terrorism, everybody gets scared. Terrorism in the UK now is no worse, infact it's better, than the last 30 years, but people seem more scared.

[DaveTaylor]

the media need to wise up, alot of them are anti-israel and always will be due to who they are run by i think if people read this thread and realise duhhhh bush is right, maybe it will help the future

[Menshevik]

In the US, you hear about Israel hiting Lebanon, and vice versa.
We have like 50 news Channels though, some are democratic, some are conservative, depends where you live.

[Virgin Mary]

News is always biased.
