Originally posted by Scoobos View PostI don't know, as theres been a hell of a lot of super scary news that hasn't hit the BBC at all. E.G North Korea's threat of "thermonuclear war" to South Korea last week, the miners at Lonmin, Marikana miners, the terrorists caught last week at the airport. I dont think any of those were reported on the tv news.

13 people got shot by the army in Derry treating people they demanded as their citizens who were wanting a vote per person rather than a vote for a house. Thousands of people got killed that day.
I think Cameron had a lot of balls saying sorry.
The inquiry had a lot to do with closure. People still moan about the cost of the inquiry which was a fraction of what we paid on a week to week basis in NI.

But sometimes corruption IS the real news
It's always there, in one form or another, but when it's sanctioned from above it can become all-pervasive and debillitating
and almost impossible to fight

However, A few naff tabloids that usually do no more than annoy Steve Coogan et al (which is no bad thing if you ask me) is part of the price you pay for having a truly free Press. And a truly free press (with its warts and all) is one of the hallmarks of a free society.
a) What private info should be published about any person?
b) How can that info legally be obtained?
The 2nd is easier to answer. In the cyber age when data is money, it's time we treated theft of any information, whether database, mail or phone hacking, surveillance carried out on private property, theft of printed records or whatever, with the same severity we apply to burglary. Some might think twice.

It's all stuff that happened under Blair and Brown or earlier. It's providing a nice distraction to all the tulip Cameron and Clegg are allowing to continue unchecked.

phone tapping, Hillsborough, Savile etc.
All coming out without too much whitewash
I always felt that Blair , Brown etc were having a terrible corrupting effect on this country, and now they are gone. Can it be that the pendulum is swinging ?
or is it my imagination ?

'Tis the interweb.
Seriously I think part of it is due to the internet and the fact that it's easier for people to publish and publicise information. This also means people can sort out campaigns easier.
Look how easy it is to get Cameron et al to sway to public opinion, and the fact that the media to save money get most of their stories from people on the web as well as the news wires.
