(I have neither).<br /><br />For many years now I have for the most part avoided the tabloids due to an overwhelming sense that the majority of their "scoops" were either exaggerated / manufactured or entirely fictional (it was the NOTW's "fake sheih" entrapment of John Higgins that initiated my boycott). <br /><br />Unfortunately my love of social networking has made exposure unavoidable and I have - against my better judgement - been following the aftermath of Lucy Meadow's sad passing.<br /><br />I have so much more I would love to say on the subject of Littlejohn, the DM etc... however you are the pro writer and can articulate it much better than I. And you have done so. <br /><br />Thank you<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16616424523862375805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-602771355396616003.post-1226054502361732172013-03-28T12:51:14.183-07:002013-03-28T12:51:14.183-07:00Now THAT is journalism...

(2 jobs and 2 different people). Mail news editors also never show excitement - like ever. Online and print don't work hand in glove at all - which is why the content isn't often the same. The two also have done different editors and it's preposterous to suggest Dacre getting involved on a Wednesday afternoon.davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16580637994632699525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-602771355396616003.post-84648204512089888772013-03-26T08:14:17.528-07:002013-03-26T08:14:17.528-07:00Thanks Eddy.Thanks Eddy.Dan Waddellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04320741202757960766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-602771355396616003.post-15102741643726833572013-03-26T07:41:39.046-07:002013-03-26T07:41:39.046-07:00Fantastic article, thank you for this.

There were two similar posts made after mine... they were gone as well.

Thank you for so clearly explaining how this dreadful state of affairs may have come to pass.<br /><br />If you ever get hold of Stuart Pike from the Accrington Observer can you also inquire why they removed perfectly respectful comments from their story (from myself and others) that were critical of their role in this?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18327467004316827131noreply@blogger.com
