Why didn't Boggy do this Laughing

This lady was annoyed about Paris Hilton being the lead story when there had been news of soldiers killed in Iraq and an important vote in senate.

The Radio 2 newsroom shredder will be in overdrive if they apply this policy.

Surveys, celeb news, promotions for BBC tv shows, etc all belong in the bin.

Thank heavens there are still some broadcasters with integrity.

I know I wasn't the only person absolutely spitting when GMTV cut away from the helicopter shots showing the devastation of the floods to watch live pictures Ms Hilton being released from prison.

What on earth possessed them to think that her plight was of far more interest to us, and that we would prefer to shed tears of relief that she'd survived her 'ordeal', rather than tears for the families of those killed or made homeless?

Unfortunately, I had to leave for work and didn't have time to start up the computer to e-mail them my thoughts! Evil or Very Mad

Oh, and our local news has very kindly given us a demonstration of how the new system of 'no smoking' in pubs will work on Sunday. Apparently, smokers will have to stub out their cigarettes - like that - which I'm sure has been terribly helpful to those who were confused about what to do. Gordon Bennett...

Unfortunately Paris does boost the ratings. 3.5m watched her being interviewed by Larry King, his best rating in years.

The floods up North were quickly forgotten today as soon as there were some non-exploding cars discovered in central London Laughing

Don't get me started on the 'reporting' of that!! Surprised

Yes, it's important, and I have friends who live there and know how serious and worrying the situation is. I'm going to be in London myself next weekend; ...but do we really need umpteen reporters spouting the same speculation from different locations - lord 'elp us, we even had one in a taxi to show how close Haymarket was to Downing Street!

Could you hear me scream in despair??!

Sorry, rant over for the evening. Embarassed

ITV News currently on - Over 10 minutes so far on the bomb(s). Let the local news take it, I'm more interested in whether or not I'll wake up in morning knee deep in water.

I'll be honest, I watched that newsreader on the Paris Hilton thing, and my first thought was- "That woman appears to be having some sort of breakdown live on air" Shocked

And as I type this, Sky News are about to run the story- about the newsreader, not Hilton Wink

Oh, and by the way folks... the "car-bomb"? Don't believe a word of it **PJ taps side of nose and winks**

I'm not being cynical-which is a change for me, I know- I'm being realistic. And I repeat- don't believe a word of it folks

I wondered who would be the first to say the car bombs are a conspiricy Rolling Eyes

I suppose you also think that 9/11, the Bali bomings and the London bomings were all conveiniently set up do you? Rolling Eyes

Going by the way GMTV were hyping up the Spice Girls reunion, I was expecting the weapons to be concealed within Victoria Beckham's boobs, like with the fembots in the Austin Powers movies!

I doubt Posh Spice could wear one of those homemade jackets fitted with explosives. However, if Gucci decided to design one, then maybe.... Smile
