Call it a 'newspaper'?

I keep hoping to see the “Apache Rain” they say will affect my area….

Is that the programme which reiterates what were already told in advance about what someone was going to announce in an announcement later? Or is it the endless repeats of an exclusive story which we read about elsewhere before it gained exclusivity? Or is it neither? Do we care?

Yummy ! You too, must be accustomed to the taste; you spout enough of it.

At least the taste won’t be tainted by the vinegar…

Another moan is why do TV weather forecasters rattle on about the day we have just had. Surley the whole nation has not got dementia and forgotten the last 12 hours?

It is to convince the world that they can at least predict what has happened, weather-wise – after all, it is usually on just after a programme about what has happened during the day, news-wise…

I value the round up, it enables you to see the weather pattern and how it’s built across the country. Useful if you have a cross country planned for the next day.

As I have said I do not read “newspapers” at all. If I am around late at night I look at the front pages displayed on Sky News.

This article almost word for word about a months rain in an hour,giant hailstones and violent thunderstorms would hit Bristol on Saturday.This was broadcast on BBC’s local channel “Points West”

Well Saturday produced a loud clap of thunder at 3.16am and a few showers of drizzle in the morning and the rest of the day was sunny and pleasant.

What bugs me is if people took notice of this they might not have going to an event or shopping thus depriving those that needed it of income

“It is possible we could see hailstones the size of cricket balls.

I haven’t even seen a hailstone the size of a cricket’s balls…

Is this the same Daily Express which forecast a freezing cold winter, with heavy snowfall ?

Funny you should mention that… http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/weather-wars-at-the-met-office-is-it-going-to-be-a-barbecue-summer-this-year-9488085.html

I wouldn’t wrap even my fish and chips in the Grauniad for fear of contamination.

What a dreadful rag.

Ah, someone left the door open. Just as well wrapping chips in newspaper was forbidden, then. Can find some used toilet paper for you, if necessary…;o)

Can’t believe that people are stupid enough to still buy papers and let alone believe whats put in them.

I look at them on my phone, mostly. But print is where nearly all news stories originate.

Daily Express just seems to be a mirror of the Daily Pail – same stories, same pics….

…Same obsession with Diana?

The stories and pics are the same because they come from the same source – usually the same news agency. Then they are rewritten a bit (sometimes, if they can be bothered – but they will credit their own reporters for it anyway) and voila.

Correction – according to the Heil you mean Shoreham Airport!!

The whole story smacks of “story creation” in that one or more people created the story by spreading the word and involving the tabloid which otherwise would have been oblivious to it.

People’s inability to separate fact from fiction is sad, making the assumption that the filming was disrespecting the events across the Channel whereas of course the reality will have been that that was the only day available to suit the scheduling of both film and airfield.

I see the Mail is now working itself up into a froth of righteous indignation over some movie use of Shoreham airfield

It’s the same problem with ANY news source, Trump. Just some are probably a bit more reliable than others. After all news sources are just that – our only source of news.

I’m sure you are right – with BBC cutbacks they’ve got to earn a dishonest crust somewhere…..

Re 4

Charlie, do you think it possible that some of the Express staff moonlight for the BBC ?

Re 13

Even the Express can’t be right all the time Alan !

Ah, got you – that opinion for that sort of centre ground. Stick with the herd and don’t bleat too loud.

Yes, that centre ground, that is being pushed ever further towards the right as the political establishment continue to push to the left.

And the Daily Mail continues to be the banner carrier for fascism that it was in the 1930s. Although these days it has as just much interest in celebrity…

Equal, and opposite ends of the same spectrum. 🙂

My opinion is based on the fact that the Guardian is full of left wing drivel.
