We are getting news porn in much, much greater quantity than ever before.
Why?
Ratings?
Probably, since younger generations:
- don't read newspapers
- get 'news' from social media sources
- if listening to radio tune in to music stations
- don't prick up their ears unless there is something salacious or violent to see and hear.
We had that diabolically drawn-out Mark Lundy trial with daily updates from panting and salivating reporters describing obliterated features, brain matter and a prostitute used for an alibi.
Now we have a grinning buffoon defending his own very incapable self for the despicable murder of Blessie Gotingo. We of course don't know the scrote's name but the media has been given full reign to his performances on TV and in print where he's imagining himself as a defence counsel. The fact that this will probably result in an appeal excuse seems to escape everyone involved.
What is particularly appalling, apart from the fact that this idiot freely admits that he ran the woman over and carted her away is that the media gleefully report how the woman's body was dragged across the cemetery grass to the dumping place leaving a blood and matter trail. Then, as if that's not enough we have to get 'breaking news' reports of how she was stabbed repeatedly in the face before having her throat cut.
How do you think that goes down with her family and friends?
When will enough be enough?

Yep, saw your post and left a rude (if not accurate) comment.
Sounds like you boys had a fun evening on the blogs.
