Remember when news at six was important. Worth watching. Informative. Those were the days.
Today news at six, 5.30, 7, anytime is a patchwork of cobbled stories. The producers of this crap admit it themselves in that they put in the rider ' full coverage of this story can be found on the website www.....). They know that the viewers are bombarded all day by 15 second 'sound-bites' on radio, TV, cell-phone, websites, blogs, Face book (Faeces book - ed), Twitter and all sorts of 'noise'. It used to be that the true stories reached people by 'village' news. Well today 'village' news doesn't stand a chance.
This why we get rubbish on Headline News about whether Tiger Woods' wife clobbered him with a golf club and breaking news about some silly tart who let her 2 y.0. lock her in a cupboard. Firstly why didn't the stupid slag boot the door open (leveraging the body against the back wall and kicking with the feet can break through virtually anything) and secondly how come crap stories like this take precedence over important political, social, humanitarian and economic issues. At least it puts to bed the urban myth about desperate mothers lifting cars to save their babies I suppose.
To save readers time I have written your comments of umbrage already.

If my 'precious' 12 y.o. baby was standing in front of the door it would have been off its hinges - believe me.

"God will provide"
Note: He is not specific about what. A crowbar? A portable toilet? A sandwich? What?
Why The The didn't you write The The one for me The The?
The The The Guy
Hey Comeinyourpants,
The Wine Guy picks on pregnant barmaids. You pick on young mothers!
What's the problem? In my world the best places for women is in cupboards.
Hey! I'm just looking at the above comments. You said I woukd say that!
Are you in league with Mean Jesus, you scary mind reader!

Curmudgeon,
Do you realise that now Richard, Fflur, myself and (very rarely) John-Paul hold conversations about you while making tea in the staffroom, "Guess what he's gone and done now" we say.
As we have never meet you, we rely on Richard to fill in the details. You really are a sexist pig.
By the way I concur on the theme of your post, news is crap, I watch it on the TV anymore.
I mean:
"I don't watch it on TV anymore."
"As we have never meet you, we rely on Richard to fill in the details. You really are a sexist pig."
Come on Nicola, there are two topics here. Anyway, a guy called Comeinyourpants is probably a self satisfier (if that's a word) and probably doesn't have the inclination to be a sexist pig. Oh, and I showed Fflur a lovely photo of Comeinyourpants today.
Everyone knows TV1 is a puppet of the Government. National Radio seems a lot less so. Whether they are just cleverer (and not pulling the wool over our eyes also) or not I'm not sure but the Men's Man Blog may be addresing this at a later date.
Yes, perhaps that abuse was going a bit far, sorry C. Richard. I saw a lovely drawing today of a dead cat being used as a double bass bow.
Tragically, the word verification is "manowns".
"Tragically, the word verification is "manowns"."
Get past this 'and women should run the world' thing Nicola - it's very 70s.
word verification was "washmyshorts"
