Newspaper Review.

One of the best ways to start the day is the old tradition of having a cup of tea or coffee whilst catching up on all the latest news from our papers. Each month I will review a different tabloid newspaper to see if they can offer me any unbiased information on important events, sports and world news.

This particular one has many strange things going on during the week. Known as the crusading newspaper, it's views are repeatedly rammed down our throats until we are feeling a little sick to the point of despair.

There is an annoying habit of the owner using his paper to promote himself and his friends. I am left wondering just how much input the reporters and the editor actually have, or do they just follow their bosses lead?

Here are just a few of the irritating subjects that really makes me wish back to the days when newspapers ended up being wrapped around fish and chips!

Princess Diana-conspiracy theory's. Gypsy's-all immigrant Rumanians have caravans, and the latest "news" today is that they also carry HIV. Adolf Hitler-Now look, he's dead, we should all be grateful. Boys- wearing hooded sweatshirts are all gangsters and should be serving in the Army instead. My mates-I am so glad that Mr Desmond, the owner, has so many nice friends and raises money for charity, but if I hear about Carpetright tycoon, Lord Harris, and see his carpet sale ad's filling up valuable print space anymore, I will rip up all of my carpets and replace with floorboards. Then there is all the publicity of the OK magazine which is, you've guessed it, owned by the same man who owns the paper.

I leave the best to last. Tony Blair-this guy is written about like the devil re-incarnated. He goes on holiday during a crisis and is condemned for being with his wife and family, whilst it's ok for the Conservative leader to be pictured on a beach,why?, because he is just like me and you. No!

On a positive note, there are some strong, well written articles by independent journalists and TV stars that give this paper some hope. Stop the crusades and just give us the facts so we can make our own judgement.

Footnote- I must have a crystal ball to see the future as Mondays editions headline was "Diana's death was not an accident !" and Thursdays was "Get prepared for the Rumanian invasion !"
