In an earlier post i expressed my veiws on the news media and newspapers. ie. fabricating stories to keep the general public buying their papers/news programmes. Today again I have been prooved right. (not that I'm bragging), I refer to todays alegations in the News of the world newspaper.

Over the last couple of weeks the media has had a field day following leaked lists of MP's expenses to a certain leading newspaper. Rightly or wrongly this storey has been headline news for quite a number of days (Not that this information hasnt always been available, lol) today we see a rival newspaper (fed up of its rival grabbing all the headlines), paying a journalist to bribe his way into the Royal Mews (The Queens garage) at Buckingham Palace. This place is open to the public anyway as I myself have been there. Its obviouse that this has been done to detract from the MP's 'fiddle' enquiries, prior to the June elections.
