Probably of limited practical use. But quite pleasing nonetheless.
Media Bullying Hypocrisy Shock Fiasco
March 5th, 2010
What is it with the unrelenting “revelations” about politicians shouting at each other? Has no-one seen The Thick of It? I’m totally confused. And for the media to run with this non-story is yet another demonstration of media hypocrisy. I can highly recommend the above book, which describes Kelvin MacKenzie’s thankfully aborted attempt at creating a televisual version of the NotW. The accounts of his reign of terror at The Sun are hilarious; his “bollockings” would apparently make Peter Capaldi’s rants seem like cosy fireside chats with your grandma. Once again, the news media’s prurient exterior belies the weeping sores and black, black heart at it’s core.
Shock revelations coming soon to a newspaper near you: Alex Ferguson sacked for bullying players, John McEnroe retrospectively charged for bullying umpires, and prime-time training video for bullies, Eastenders, is cancelled.

Having a few of my little photies in High Street Books in New Mills for the Arts Festival. Do drop in and say hi to Archie if you're passing.

This may be some sort of postmodern self-referential statement on the internet or something. Or it may just be that someone really likes Tom Selleck, waterfalls and sandwiches.
