..Is there a finer collection of inbreeds and wannabe managers, Than the press of this country? Am i the only one fed up with the consant bull**** they print in their rags? The so called "rumours" dreamt up whilst playing pro evo of FIFA'11. The way the jump to shoot down players, without any experience of playing that position themselves.The constant half truths from a "reliable source" that'll be heinz ketchup in most cases. When i see or here them it just reaffirms what a load of self important arse wipes they are. They wouldn't know a real story if it slapped them around the face. Don't believe the rumours, read between the lines of a story..And you'll be ok.
My favourite trick (it's not so much the press as individuals claiming to have sources) is this idea that 'I'm not allowed to reveal anything' in case it jeopardises the deal. The, after the signing is confirmed, they come out and say 'this is the player who I was talking about.' The player who they convenient aren't 'allowed' to name.
There is also the best of the lot ''We were the first to reveal this'' if it actually happens.They say nothing when some of their ''rumours'' are as false as Jordans tits.
Good journalists are few and far between, too many are reactionary, hypocritical unintelligent idiots.
I do agree completely. However, I still read them every day and get excited about a player who then never signs for us!
Brian Reade and Oliver Holt are two of my favourite journalists.They tell it as it is and don't fill papers with bull****.Dave ''Mystic'' Maddock can be good sometimes,but sometimes he can be a bit of a tit.
Messi was been offered in part exchange for Joe Cole,Liverpool also wanted £20 million and the Nou Camp.
I stopped watching Sunday Supplement because of the nonsense and perpetuated cliches. I remember Paul Tomkins exposing Henry Winter for slagging off Rafa as coldhearted when he stayed in Japan after his dad died, then praising Tony Pulis for turning up at halftime when his mum died. I stopped reading the Independent because of James Lawton and Ian Herbert. My Indie and 606 username was Mediakiller for a while.
Lawton is one of the worst writers in a quality newspaper I have ever seen. He tries to elevate sports writing into "literature" but his overblown prose and overlong paragraphs become almost impenetrable. I often have to read things three or four times to work out what he's trying to say and when I do it's hardly worth it. A prime example of someone being more concerned with their own voice than the subject they're supposed to be interested in. This guy has won all sorts of awards for his writing but for the life of me I cannot understand why.
Yeah, that's something I see a lot. They make a very, very basic and obvious point, but mask it in sophisticated language so that the reader assumes they're making a really good argument. But when you finally dissect it, they're saying something you either already knew or something that doesn't really matter.
Matey, you need to expand that to Politics business and the news in general. Its all over the place, you cannot take any information given to you as corect and unbiased and informed IF and this is important, if you are unaware of the uncertainty of the accuracy of the information, it is then meaningless as factual information. It is pointless to watch the news or read papers, they are becomming so openly biased now. If a footballer can get an injunction to stop information coming out inagine what big business and the government can do to prevent this. I gave up and couldn't take sky news any more or BBC 24, same scare depress condition format. I miss the old open university programs, free education, it was great and all the other lessons that used ot be on the BBC, now its all entertainment.. WHO ****ING INVENTED SHOWBUSINESS NEWS. The biggest fkn waste of news ever on BBC ****ing sheite As for the rag hacks, remember these are journos, they fking love to read their own work and as such have a very high estimation of their own opinion, which of course is very closed minded indeed, so they pretty much can't even imagine what it is like to be in others shoes Ramble ramble ramble
People who cater to demand? Just a thought. Of course we should all be reading the steady stream of centrist politics that fill so many pages daily. But some of us have better things to do with our time, like read about celebs and their silly lives so we can feel vastly superior and also a little irked that they've had such an easy life presented to them on a silver platter. Not that we're jealous. People do the lottery to help charity, not get the easy life of a celeb. It's possible to read entertainment news, science news and parliamentary news, the same as it's possible to like Lou Reed and Girls Aloud.
