That is her job and she did not do it.
That is a fair point.

How on earth did it pass by the Editor?

like i said earlier. Traditional newspapers are not what they were 5 years ago let alone 10 or 20. They are staffed by kids fresh out of college because they are cheap and looking for a start.

The whole newspaper thing has been completely dumbed down to click bait. I thought it was obvious.

It does make sense I suppose.

Hopefully this will be a lesson to the people that run these Newspapers, make sure to check what's being written by your workers.

We don't have genuine NEWS papers Mock in my view.
We have publications only peddling their own agendas.
Distorting news and facts rather than printing real news.

I can't bear any of them.
I never buy any or read any.
I only see the headlines etc; posted on here and they're bad enough without reading the rest of their more like garbage.

Why people waste hundreds of pounds a year at least on them is astonishing to say the least.
That people believe their content is even more concerning.

This is the Sun after all which along with the Mail is one of the really sick and misleading gutter trash publication it's possible to be.

Clarkson with his divisive, sick and vile opinions is well suited to the Sun.
It's no surprise they'd eagerly put it into print in THEIR paper.
Supporting his vile agenda platform they have given him.

Your other post before this one.
Where you mention free speech I also agree fully with that.
The content of the comments he made are a disgrace and indefensible in any area of any decency.

Why people like him get any media outlets to spout out their vile bigotry and bile is sickening, to me anyhow.

The Daily Mail and The Times are the 2 papers that over the years, relating to Royal news in particular, have proved very accurate in their reporting and analysis of situations. I should know, I’ve been reading them for over 20 years and more often than not, they have turned out to be correct in their reporting.

You can’t possibly say otherwise if you never read them and gauge their accuracy over time??
Headlines are often exaggerated to catch the attention - as they say, you can’t judge a book by its cover.

Nonsense I'm sorry to say to that.

My own Father bought the Mail right up to 2011.
Even he got sick of its slide into the gutter.
So cancelled his order for it.

I'm aware it's one of your sources possibly and one you may admire.
For myself it's a long list of gutter trash reporting and I wouldn't spend a pence on a paper nor believe the majority ANY of them say now.

They should ALL for me be on fiction stands not news stands.
Local press are better in my view.
Also that free one the Metro.

The others.
For me.the sooner their sales dwindle further that they go out of print the better.

Oh and I can say whatever I like, just as you do jet.

You don’t know if you don’t read the papers I referred to. That’s like saying you hate all novels by a particular author even though you’ve never read any of them. Pure bias.

I’m afraid your father giving up reading the Mail has got nothing whatsoever to do with me Royal watching for many years and finding that the Mail and the Times were proved consistently accurate in their reporting of them over the years. How rude to call my conclusions ‘nonsense’ when you have no way of refuting them.
I will say that I can’t vouch for the accuracy over time of other subjects the Mail or the Times may have reported on.

I agree 100% with what you've said Joey.

Especially about the part where people believe anything that Newspapers (especially The Sun) tell them.
