I’ve spent the last couple of days reading online UK newspapers. I have to admit that I have never been struck by Financial Journalistic Sensationalism as I did reading through the articles on scotnews/edinburoughnews. I admit to being both awestruck and disgusted by how stories and headlines are warped and spun out of control by just grabbing pieces of true news. It’s almost like digging up a diary by Einstein that reads: “I once had a dream of having awoken in the body of a ferret. I was running for my life as insane Canadians came rushing after me, throwing sticks and stones. That was the last time I had pepporoni pizza before bedtime” and twisting it into a headline that screams: “Einstein admits to being Stoned!”
I hate that kind of shit everywhere I see it.
Get that bloody pickle surgically extracted from your ass already.
