Irresponsible press

I am sick and tired of the way that the press of this nation view the people that buy their newspapers.  These people are by definition local residents.

This is only today’s example but it will do nicely to illustrate the point.

The Coventry Telegraph is taking a swing at Nuneaton today in my view.  They have posted a story about a three year old YouTube clip of a fight that took place outside a nightclub in Nuneaton in 1996.  The story is titled, “Night out in Nuneaton”.  Great!  What a fantastic way to represent the borough.  I am outraged by this slur on the character of the town.

This is the epitome of lazy brain dead journalism!

If you have just one moment to spare for a search of YouTube with the town’s name as your only search term and refine the search by hits you will find that this is the seventh most popular video and with a paltry score at 36,000 views over three years compared with footage of a wildlife sanctuary with 90,000 views over two years.  Come on Martin Bagot of the Coventry Telegraph.  You can do better than this!
