moosepalm: Very eloquent piece, Bob, hitting all the right notes, particularly at the finish.

magicnight: This is another, and in a similar sad vein. About the ill-fated Wigmore Hall, and the poor excuses for human beings who edit the Daily Mirror.

Tavasco: I don\'t want to get started on the subject of national or mainstream news as all that does is disgust and anger me. The programming should be retitled Bad News @ 6:00.

I agree with you in thinking the rag of a newspaper was wrong to run such a story. Small wonder Scotland wanted out. England used to be considered civilized. Of course, I generalize too much. Need to go before I get stupiderer.

Boscar Obarra: There is scant difference  between what used to  be considered pornography , and what is often printed in the dailies.

 Since there are no repercussions, except higher sales, this will continue.

 I myself rarely watch network news and limit my hardcopy newspaper reading to the Wall St Journal, which rarely offends, unless you are a liberal.
