Having worked in the industry, there are some really good journos out there...unfortunately, they're all propping up the bar at the Punch or St Brides Tavern (showing my age!) and left the cubs to do the work.
On the rare occasion that something is in the paper that I have first hand experience of, every single time there had been mistakes, inaccuracies or down-right lies. All it achieves is make be disbelieve every other article and I have now stopped buying newspapers.
I use the TV news and BBCi for my news, but with the reporting from this weekend, I'll even have to review this.
