    Is there any actual journalism outside of skimming the 'net anymore. Today's 'paper has TWO stories taken directly from these fair pages. Front page is Stuart Dougal at the Masonic Lodge and the other is the Bumble Top thread.

    Alleged reporters, if you're reading this (which you probably are):

    Go do some real * journalism, you lazy *.

    Wondering about my hole getting mustarded
    And while you're at it, can you do a wee trivial story about me?


    ....on 2nd thoughts, no, you'll be camped outside my maw's door looking for scandal. Forget it.

    The power of * journalism is the worst bit.

    Yesterday it was a dodgy fake website and a dodgy photoshop, today the same people that thought that now think both stories are 100% genuine because they appeared in a national newspaper.

    The tabloid media are feeding on stupidity and the sheep mentality and running a mock with it. They have far too much power over society.

    I reckon we should fabricate a fake transfer story, of staggering implausibility, just to see if we can get it into the red tops. We could be that mysterious "source within Parkhead" they're always alluding to.:icon_mrgreen:

    I agree totally, because you see it in a newspaper doesn't mean it's true especially the Sun.

    I'd rather believe Messi was coming to Celtic than any of the pish coming from that rag.

    Also Gordon Smart is a * *. Your 'exclusives' are 2 weeks behind the internet, so stop thieving off it.

    The Sun is gutter journalism at it's worst. The self-righteous, Little-Englander * they peddle day in, day out is staggering.
    It's the newspaper equivalent of a * Chelsea fan stumbling around Benidorm in Union Jack bermuda shorts, singing (badly) * Save The Queen and telling the locals and anyone else how they should be grateful they're not speaking German.
    They suffer from the worst kind of spineless 'Italy Syndrome' (find out whoever's winning then jump on the bandwagon)
    You'd get more believable articles in the Daily Sport.

    You'd think with slow death that print media is suffering, newspapers would actually try and improve the quality of their produce. There will soon be a generation which scoffs at the notion of picking up a rich, old, white man's manual of rhetoric and doing anything other than wiping their * on it.
