Because it sells papers and under the guise of a 'free press' it is difficult to defend against. The real fault lies with those who pay for such drivel. Why people pay to read what just might happen (but usually doesn't), instead of keeping updated about what is actually happening, confuses me. Many people know more about untruths and rumours than they do about current affairs. I'm sorry Belgium Guy, it is something we have had to endure since before Benteke and until people stop buying or believing such nonsense, it will continue after CB.
ok i ment no disrespect btw.
I know BG, I fully agree with your frustration. My post was aimed at the media and those that feed from it and definitely not at you. :-)
