Are you cheap ?

[David Vincent]

You're being selective. You said that "blogs are more truthful than newspapers". Which implies ALL blogs v ALL newspapers, and is a ridiculous statement.

You seem to be an all or nothing sort of person. Living with you must be fun if you bring the rules of logic to every discussion.

You : "You said you'd done the washing up."
Wife (or boyfriend) : "I have".
You : "No you haven't. There's an unwashed spoon here."
Wife or (boyfriend) : "I'll tell you where you can stick it."
Perhaps I should have left "boyfriend" out of that last line.

Don't forget that for the most part "the papers" have codes of ethics and real journalists that have to cite sources and get editorial and legal approval before they print.

I've just pissed myself laughing at that. Nearly everything in a newspaper is either a lie or an ignorant opinion. Even when they try to be factual they get it all wrong. Anyone who as been the subject of an newspaper article will tell you that they get most of names, dates, etc. wrong. They have no ethics. The so called journalists on the big papers are just typists for rich crooks and bent politicians.
