    Just throwing this out here, don't hate me:

    Would it not be a good idea to get rid of crappy news sources being used (i.e the sun, news of the world and such) as they bring nothing but poor news articles to the forum and general ARGH.

    I mean there's the guardian, the bbc, cnn and such all with a far greater literacy rate than the babies that run the sun and such.

    Just throwing it out there, not saying this is what should happen.

    The Guadrian is also biased, although they try and paint a picture of being neutral they are to the left and are not even a popular newspaper. Do you mean stop people using certain sources or the bots by the way?

    Infact it could be seen the BBC is biased, the BBC does lean to the left and has close links with the Guardian newspaper, the only non-biased news source in the world is probably Reuters, and its normally the fastest aswell.

    The issue isn't with anyhting to do with bias slants in articles from various outlets, he is simply saying that the quality of articles from certain papers like The Sun, are utter garbage. I knew as soon as he mentioned the Guardian you would all of a sudden change the whole subject to how they're bias.

    I see where you're coming from and agree with you about the quality of reports in said outlets. However, we have to remember a lot of the people that are going to be reading them need simple language and simple story lines. Such papers pride themselves on having these things.

    Exactly. Considering this is a forum aimed at people who play habbo (young teenagers), the people who use it are unlikely to want to spend 10 minutes reading a long, detailed, complicated piece from the BBC or the guardian.

    But why would they be reading current affairs in the first place? Kids aren't interested in the news.
