I didn't say that all news organisations were professional; the "news" in dictatorships, for example, is whatever the dictator wants printed. However, for the most part, the MSM in Western countries used to be reasonably professional.

Today, even the front page is part of the Opinion pages Frown | :(

Personally I blame Rupert Murdoch. He started that trend.

Nah, I would say Ted Turner.

Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

While Turner took the lead in TV, via CNN, he was a decade and a half late in politicising media as such.
Murdoch went for newspapers and Magazines already in the sixties and seventies, but he didn't buy Fox until 1985.

"Commonwealth" is the politician's way of getting the sheeples to believe they have wealth when in fact it should be called "CommonPoverty." Wink | ;)

The real name of the "Commonwealth Games" is "The Empire Games" (the British Empire that is) but we don't like anyone else to know we still have an Empire - so we disguise it as a "Commonwealth" these days.

Not sure why it's called common wealth with Aus and UK snatching up about half of all the medals, that hardly seems like sharing does it?

It is important to remind people who can, and who cannot, afford swimming pools and velodromes.

Yes it's pretty harmless, but it should probably have been posted in the soapbox anyway.

Sunday closing isn't a "thing" in the UK any more, except for Easter day itself.
Needless to say, people panic buy because the supermarkets are closed for a single day...

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
