I don't take the tbloids (tablets) seriously. Nor do I take most of the broadsheets seriously. The only paper I buy is the Guardian (and that mainly for the crossword), but at least it I think it TRIES to have a less biased, more open attitude. Even if I don't always agree with it. My problem comes from the fact that so many of the people I know read the other papers and believe them. It becomes a vicious circle. They read the paper, it tells them what to think. So they tell others what they've read, they buy the paper, believe it... and the newspaper proprietors sit there, rubbing their hands in glee, 'cos by pandering to the baser instincts they're getting bigger circulations, hence more dosh through advertising.. Ah, well, one way or another it'll sort itself out. I hope. Cheers (gloomily) Diolma :-))
