The post you are reporting:
interesting debate you have opened colin.
i find most newpapers simply pander to their readers prejudices, good business really, keeps sales up.
i still read a broad mix of them, at some time or another, each will come out with a "scoop".
who can forget the daily mirror expose about cambodia, all those years ago?
the mail a year or so back done a massive spread on where plastic carrier bags end up, antarctica for instance.
so many animals and birds had died as a result of swallowing one that since then i have been very careful with their use and try to avoid them whereever i can.
the good old torygraph caught our betters out on the subject of expenses, that made us all gasp in disbelief for a while.
i quite like the "caught with the trousers down" stories that feature in many of the sunday red tops, depending on who it is. when a show biz, rock star or footballer is found out, not really that interesting, but when it is an archbishop, politician or someone else that talks down to us, then it is great stuff.
you may get a few more views on this one.
