B94villa Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I think more than anything its down to a shift in how news is produced and distributed. It's cheaper to lift stuff from local papers (where a man drowning could be genuinely newsworthy) and social media, plus it can be be done from the office by an intern working for peanuts, so thats what gets produced. So human interest stories or "it could happen to me" tragedies get precedence over lengthy investigative pieces not necessarily because we're all secretly craving snuff videos and upskirt shots of young girls at the beach but because people who make it can do so quickly and in great quantity. Then catch22 comes in because they use the volume as proof that there's demand. Obviously that's only a small part of it, and I pretty much agree with you overall in that people need to switch off or source better information for themselves. Then again the falling numbers of newspaper sales year on year seem to suggest it's happening. Maybe in a few years I'll be able to switch on Midlands Today and actually hear about the new Bill that got passed and actually affects me rather than hearing about Sharon's pet ******* goat and it's big dreams of breaking into the entertainment industry.

Genie Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 My boss is leaving the department and I need something witty to write in his card. He's a good guy and we get on very well. He's going to another part of the same business. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Would anybody else find it hilarious if McLeish got the Huddersfield job especially considering the amount of stuff POB has probably posted on here about him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of his £1,500 a week wages go to me. The rest of you can fight among yourselves you blood sucking leeches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Should I drive 45 minutes to play poker, or take the subway 10 minutes to my barber? This poker room only plays sit and go tournaments, so top 3 at the table cash. And I rarely have good luck there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
