So all the news channels just copy each other's stories without checking sources. There's a surprise.

We cut and paste job ads from other agencies

More FoI stuff re the beeb. This time it's about hotel costs

Lol. Screeching and throwing poop. Great argument. Still, at least your chimpanzee avatar is appropriate. I'll leave you both to it.

No, throwing cold hard facts. Boring.

Ah yes, in your fantasy world where 45,672 is a much larger number than 78,463

Hi Guys, I just found this grip.
I think a few of you could use it

Is that supposed to explain why the BBC's newspaper intake focusses overwhelmingly on the two most left-leaning newspapers ?

It doesn't. We've done this to death already.

Under what possible circumstances might it be reasonable to expect an organisation that buys newspapers in order that its staff can be informed of the full range of opinion being expressed in the national press, to align its expenditure with household circulation? How would that work? "We need to cover this scoop in today's Telegraph!" "Oh, sorry, we're not getting that this week - we bought it too many times last month, so we can't have any more until next Tuesday."

But of course you're just trolling. Not very well, either: if you need to borrow your material from Paul Staines (aka Guido), and five-year-old material at that, you're not even trying that hard

Stop being a baby.
