London's worst newspaper

Since graduating a couple of years ago, I’ve kind of distanced myself from the politics of today, and the countless controversial stories populating newspapers, television, and general conversations. While studying, I tried to focus more on what I was actually studying than contemporary politics, stuff that was ancient history: the civil rights protests in Northern Ireland of 1968, British Colonialism, Russian Communism etc. I found this content much easier to ‘analyse and interpret’ (this statement reminds me ‘American History X’.

The politics of today is dominated by monkeys, hypocrites, capitalists, and tyrants that do what they want when they want with absolutely no interference if their country has nothing to offer anyone else.

Journalists are free to shove their mike in whoever’s face they choose, but just dare push them aside! What about their rights!? Their freedom of speech? Blah blah blah, I’ll keep to myself what I would really like to say to them, and tell you that I don’t feel a thing for that ‘poor journalist’ who got likened to a ‘Nazi P.O.W soldier’, shame! If you didn’t stick your mike in his face and hound him like the pig dog that you are, he wouldn’t be calling you names! To say that you were offended is absolutely ludicrous, at 20-odd, you probably care less about Jewish history than putting out your trash. Journalists are there to cause/create sensationalism, problems, controversy and many other issues that would obviously not be news worthy if they didn’t blow things out of proportion.

So what I’m getting at is the ‘The Evening Standard’, one of London’s more popular newspapers, and a newspaper that seems to have a vendetta against Mayor Livingstone, now I don’t know much about the man, but if the people put him there then he cant be all that bad. Journalists need to know when not to step over the mark, and harassing one of the most senior public officials clearly crosses that mark, when there is no news to be gotten, or scandal to be uncovered then leave them alone. This paper clearly sets out to provoke the man so that they can sell more papers.

I’m tired of ranting now, but you get the point I’m trying to make, and before you criticise me, I don’t think all journalists are bad, those that do flower reviews, or report on dog shows and the weather are fine by me. And if you say that 'The Sun' or 'News of the world' are contenders for worst newspaper in london, I wont argue, theyre just as bad.
