Like most families they have had some minor disagreements. Am I bovvered? as Tracy or whatever her name is would say. The point I was making was saying nothing is apparently newsworthy. In case the link above has a bar on it for some. More important news in the article is that: ‘The broadcaster Fearne Cotton, the podcaster Giovanna Fletcher and John Torode from the BBC’s MasterChef are among the celebrity supporters to have posted messages on social media wishing the princess a speedy recovery after her abdominal surgery.’ Shocked to find that the price of cauliflowers is not mentioned! # For those like PB who do not read the last part of a lengthy piece first and can’t open the link, to sum up Chomsky’s approach he writes : ’ In sum, a propaganda approach to media coverage suggests a systematic and highly political dichotomization in news coverage based on serviceability to important domestic power interests. This should be observable in dichotomized choices of story and in the volume and quality of coverage… such dichotomization in the mass media is massive and systematic: not only are choices for publicity and suppression comprehensible in terms of system advantage, but the modes of handling favored and inconvenient materials (placement, tone, context, fullness of treatment) differ in ways that serve political ends.‘ In other words, it is whatever one thinks it is. It seems to me that many do not get as far as that. |

Regarding Front Page news…. I happened on a newscast while zapping off Netflix. Some news grifter was spouting proudly how a local authority was helping their homeless population. It appeared that this authourity had previously carted off a load of tents that belonged to these poor sods, the reported was pleased to report that the unfortunates were to get an apology and as a footnote said that Mr. joe doe homeless would receive a NEW TENT. (They we’re so proud to announce). Beggars belief, no pun intended. That’s the way to do it?
