I've posted before on this forum about my dislike for the newspapers, but this one news item from the BBC seems to sum up why quite nicely.

They way the pounce on something, draft in all the experts, and still manage to speel a load of incorrect and innacurate rubbish.

A page of doodles found on Tony Blair's desk at last week's economic summit in Davos sparked a wave of excitement in the media.

Psychologists and handwriting experts were drafted in by the press in the hope of getting a glimpse into the inner workings of the prime ministerial mind.

What a load of purile rubbish. If this is the best the media can come up with to interest the public, then its about time journalism was no longer offered as a degree in universities. Considering the state of the world at the moment, I think we are are being badly short-changed by our news media.

Maybe he was designing the new interface for his new Windows OS.

I cant stand newpapers that make up stories. Some newpapers in this country should be banned altogether.
