I did a thread about a woman going missing whilst walking her dog beside a river.
It wasn't the tragic account of what may -and then was discovered, had happened to the
poor woman that I was offering, it was the honed-interest the English media had on the
case and all the column-filling suggestions they came up with to get through a day.
But, if I was wrong in the failing MSM's craving for ratings at any cost, here's a similar incident
that these duplicitous buggers decided not to bother with. You see, the problem with whether
a story gets an airing is genuine logistics.
Is the incident too-far away from the capital to warrant the expense of sending a noted Journalist
to investigate...? Will the many surrounding variables effect an agreed narrative of other perceptions
of society? Does the victim's relatives know anybody in the media/entertainment business?
All real-life reasons of why some things get reported and some don't.
(And just to show I'm not covertly advertising for a newspaper I used to work for, the comments at the
bottom of the page are correct. The River Wear doesn't go anywhere near New Brancepeth, it's the River
Deerness!! Sorry Gavin! )
And that's it. No mass-media jostling and no poe-faced TV Journalists shivering beside the river that the Lambeth Worm
once revelled in... nothing. So the next time the MSM pull the age-old ruse of 'Is The Boy In The Well Alive?', you can
be assured it's a distraction-piece laced with intrigue and emotive phrasing.
Bastardos!
