This is certainly an issue that is polarising opinion – geddit?
Of course the answer is:
STOP BUYING TABLOIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s all a load of toss.
Did anyone see episode 2 of Black Mirror BTW?
This seems to be a very good bit of evidence in support of how accurate that satire is.
It also occurred to me that this might be less about Leveson and more about climate change. Because the last episode (I understand – haven’t seen it yet) of frozen planet majors on climate change warnings, the usual bunch of idiots, led by Nigel Lawson, were out attacking it. When that failed to get traction they must have been looking very hard to find something else to smear and discredit the programme with. It’s the same tactic they’ve used very successfully many times before – for example with the most recent IPCC reprot where they found a couple of small errors in the science (e.g. rate of loss of Himalayan glaciers) and tried to use that to discredit the whole of the report.
