beyond our ken Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 I couldn't believe the reports that the Sun saw fit to pay a person NOT related to Ben Stokes who claimed to be a "family member" for a story about possibly the worst thing that could occur in a mother's life. If you buy it, you are as bad as the scum who write it and i feel sorry for the working people who have to print it. In my opinion, every English cricket player would be justified in never appearing at an ECB press conference again and the ECB should be banning Newscorp from all future England games & events Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised anyone buys the Sun, even without this latest shameful story, it's 90% garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beyond our ken Posted September 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 I haven’t bought a newspaper for years and even stopped looking at the online version of the herald 3 years ago i would repeat my previous statements that the decline in newspaper circulation is down to content and not online competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Have not bought a paper for a few month now and dont miss it at all. Most papers are political rags. There are plenty news channels plus online for any news related to our club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud the Baker Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Other news sources aren't much better once the story has broken (it doesn't even have to be a newspaper these days) then they're all able to condemn the original source then jump into the prurient details. Similar situation with the Gavin Thomas HIV story with him saying today a journalist parents told his parents about it before he could. I understand the Ben Stokes story was already in the public domain for those who cared to delve but I thought one of the outcomes of the Levinson enquiry was that newspapers would have to justify that a story was "in the public interest" rather than just one that "interested the public" or did that go by the wayside while I was arguing about whether us paying a transfer fee for Doug Imrie was a good decision?

You might want to include the Guardian in that list too , after an horrendous comment it made with regard to Dave Cameron's disabled son. .
