I do wish that the media were only allowed to print what an official source produced .........and kept quiet otherwise !
Are you really saying you’d prefer to live in a country where only officially sanctioned stories could be reported in the media and that dissenters could be “kept quiet”?
Maybe somewhere like North Korea or pre-liberation Iraq? Incidentally, that lovable Iraqi Minister of Information, Mohammad Said al-Sahaf, has just released his official version of the birdstrike incident:
“Yes it is true that one very small infidel aircraft did approach the mighty and brave seagull. However, the seagull fought with the aircraft for a short time and repelled its advances easily. The aircraft was forced to retreat to Stansted and will surely be crushed if it should provoke any seagull again. Also I can confirm that the seagull is alive and well with his people tonight and that the seagull seen on television is not a body double.”
