UK Media a complete embarrasment

A few things recently

1. In the first week of the bnp trial I searched on google news and
there was many links to various reports. The first week was the
prosecution. The second week when the defence was going on there was
startingly fewer reports on google news, in fact just about zero. So
they gave plenty of coverage of what he was supposed to have done wrong
but then gave near zero of his side of the story the following week.

2. I bought the Daily Mail and read the Mrror online the next day. Both
reports started in the first paragraph by saying Griffin was greeted bh
shaving headed supporters waving uNION jACKS. I watched Sky News, ITN
and BBC that day and saw plenty of coverage of the crowd, I did not see
one skinhead, just middle aged types and women! Yes the heavies were
shaven headed but these were security and who would deny the man
security after Pim Fortyn and Van Gough were both slayed in the street
for criticizing Islam. Then within the reports they very muched cherry
picked quotes, the Mail had a side article entitled 'GRIFFINS POISON
WORDS' indicating all that he said was made up eg. racist murders on
whites, as thoug such things never happen?

THEN the newspapers and TV refuse to support their Danish Colleagues in
the defence of freedom of expression. Sky News has rattled on and on
all day about 'the cartoons' without showing respect to their viewers
and showing them what the actual fuss is about and showin the cartoons
in this context. The same applies to all the newspapers. What other
story would they omit the main theme, eg. It is similar to debating a
new controversial piece of modern art that has been created without any
image of the art being discussed. Completly bizarre. They are allowing
their editorial policy to be dictated by mass hysteria, flag burnings
and death threats. It does not bode well for our freedoms.

Ive had it, I usually buy a paper nealry every day- mail 40p, and a
sunday paper approx£1.40, title varying. I worked out if i ditch this
bad habit of mine I could save about a suprising and superb £200 a
year. So from now on its online news for me, from all sorts of sources.
I refuse to buy newspapers that distort facts and arent prepared to
support freedom of expresion.
