Is this not News ?

Post by Bruv »

I just caught a mention on TV this morning of up to 50 thousand marching against austeruty cuts in London yesterday.

A Google search didn't bring very many results.

Why? Doesn't 50 thousand marchers warrant a mention on our news broadcasts ?

Could it be that the marchers have never made a donation to GoogleDotUK? Or perhaps it's because you misspelled "austerity":

Try this:

Perhaps now you'll see how biased and controlling our government Influenced media Is.

It was all over other sites.

The BBC never so much as mentioned It.

Russell Brand was there... he'll be furious he didn't get front page headlines.

What 'Other sites' was it 'All over'?

BBC Linky

So you reckon the government influences what the media reports?

Then why ask ' Is this not news' ?

You've just contradicted yourself.

You are truly bloody hard work...........

YOU said "It was all over other sites".......I asked what other sites you SAID it was ALL over.

YOU said "The BBC never so much as mentioned it"........................I linked to the BBC where they did "mention it"

I asked if YOU reckon the Government influences what the media reports ?..................no comment.

I say yet again "Is this not news".......meaning why it didn't figure large in any news source while it was happening yesterday, or show up in searches today to the extent I thought it warranted.

So what you're saying Is that because It wasn't headline news on every tabloid of your preference, then It wasn't news? The fact that the BBC did a little report on It, Is not good enough for you?

Yes, no comment because I don't want to go down the route of what Is covered up by the media such as attacks by asian gangs for fear of sparking racial tensions. You can find the evidence however, should you look on youtube but for now I won't go down that route and keep your thread on topic.

I did however enjoy the photograph that emerged on one site of Russell Brand leaving the protest on cuts In his brand new Range Rover with an expensive mobile phone to his ear. The austerity cuts must be hurting him.... bloody hypocrite.

Most of the press is owned by right wing proprietors that's why they won;t repost it - can't have the peasants getting ideas now can we.

By the way... do you mean Austerity ?

Only your word looks a bit foreign to me.

Well at least you got that one 80% right. Were you a victim of that experiment period when they were experimenting with different ways of teaching spelling?

By the way since your husband is a lake sgould younot be oscar puddle or something.

How about lochan oscar? Lochans are lonely places which may not be you but they are self contained with an air of mystery - which may not be you either.:(
