Got swine flu? Don't go to casualty 1:24pm on 25 Jun 2009 As a person who is fit and healthy and whose family are all fit and healthy, I am very much hoping that we all get swine flu. Well, at least this mild outbreak of H1N1, as this will give me the best chance of fighting a more serious strain that may or may not develop in the future.
Who is responsible for Susan Boyle? 10:20pm on 03 Jun 2009 Dont get me wrong doublethumb, I have no time for the big business that sits behind the talent shows or behind any other car crash culture. They are equally immoral in their pursuit for money at all costs.

But as you rightly allude to, the Media is a big business in its own right, and is in effect, the propaganda wing of big business. As a result, the masses get stupefied as the propaganda wing feeds the masses and thus, the vicious circle continues.

Of course the public have a responsibility, but so do the media. As I said in my last post; do I think internet media or indeed, glossy magazine articles had Susan Boyle running for the Priory? No. Do I think the tabloid journalists and television news crews sitting on her doorstep looking through her windows and pumping garbage into our newspapers and onto our TV sets did? Yes, absolutely.

As for your other comments; do I honestly think that the media decide what to publish when it comes to entertainment? Yes, in many instances they do.

As for guessing who's paying the media to feature Susan Boyle on this media Blog. Id take a guess at no one.

I feel it is about time that the honest people within the media, of whom I consider Razia Iqbal to be one, need to take a stand and bite the hand that feeds them. Just once in a while. Please.
Who is responsible for Susan Boyle? 7:49pm on 01 Jun 2009 This article is just typical of our media outlets and shows just how unintelligent and poisonous our media has got.

Comments like Susan Boyle is a real person. As the user above states, what person isnt real?

Or comments like

They [the producers] have failed to seriously consider the impact of the extreme arc of fame she has experienced.

Oh please. It is the media that has canonised Susan Boyle one week, only to demonise her the week after. Why should the produces have to take into account or be responsible for the disreputable reporting by the media? The media should take responsibly for themselves.

It is the media that you should be criticising, not the producers. Oh wait, you are the media!!

And the idea that the Twittering, Facebooking and YouTubing world is somehow responsible for her checking into the Priory is simply ludicrous. It is the press hounding her, sitting on her doorstep, delving into her private life and creating a frenzied media gold rush that is responsible.

Why is it that the media always tries to blame everyone else, but themselves? You cant just say you are reporting the story. In most cases you are creating the story in the most immoral and self serving manner.

Come on, step up to the mark and find some morals.
Speaker's anger 8:32pm on 11 May 2009 This little piggy went to Laura Ashley,
This little piggy bought a new home,
This little piggy had his garden done,
And this little piggy couldn't change a light bulb
And this little piggy got caught and went squeak squeak squeak all the way home.

The rest of us
Lost our jobs
Saw our council tax rise
Our Utilities bills go through the roof
And our old people die from the cold.

They should all resign and call an election. NOW!!
