poxy sky news and the rest of the media

Post by 81mm »

ok, there is a load of shit going down in the middle east, whats new ? but i am sick to the back teeth of seing the same old pictures of tanks parked on the road and a couple of buildings that have have been hit by an air strike. BBC and sky reporters wearing their blue body armour pointing to the vapour trail in the sky saying, there goes another rocker heading towards isreal. Hang on a minute have i missed something, ? what about the british troops in iraq,? ot 3 para who are in daily fire fights with the taliban, grafting like mad, and who are basically on a two way range, doing a shit hot job, and killing quite a number of the ememy,( same as the rest of the coalition troops), are we to forget them, ? its about time the media concentrated on our own troops who are putting their lifes on the line, instead of the crap in the middle east, i know its important but i would rarther find out what our blokes are doing from our own media, instead of from some one like cnn. rant over

Whats the old saying, Any news is good news but bad news is even better. Well that used to be slogan of Fleet Street, as bad news sells paper and it is just the same for the TV people.

I think after the article in the Nationals written by that female journalist, the situ in Afganistan has scared them in to the Beruit hotels, dont think the Afgan ones (hotels) are as nice :drinking:
