Anyone else noticed all the stupid negative headlines in the press about the show this year?

Here are some examples:

Big Brother 'sex pest' Coolio grabs hold of a clearly distressed Mutya as Ofcom confirms official probe - Daily Mail

This is just misleading it claims an "official probe" has be launched while in the article it say's "An Ofcom spokesman said last night it was investigating complaints it had received about American rapper Coolio, but had yet to launch an official inquiry"

Now Channel 4 gets a dwarf drunk on television - Daily Mail

This so wrong, Channel 4 didn't get Verne drunk, Verne got Verne drunk. It wasn't like the people at the TV station took a funnel and poured the drink down his throat.

BB TINA: COOLIO IS SEXIST THUG - Daily Star

The headline has been made to look like a quote, however when you read the report there are no references to her actually saying or using those words. I fact the only place where the words "thug" and "sexist" are used is in the headline.

Stupid tabloids.

It pisses me off the press can pretty much print whatever they like with any headline they like, however misleading - and get away with it - but when TV does something questionable, they get slated by the press and fined heavily.


Take the whole Andrew Sachs fiasco - it's all "poor Andrew Sachs" because it was revealed on Russell Brand's radio show he'd ****ed his grand daughter, but if she'd gone to the press and sold her story they wouldn't have cared one bit about the feelings of her granddad.

Boolio is a sexist, misogynistic thug.

Boolio is a horrible, nasty, grotesque bully.

The press will find any angle for a story no matter how stupid because it gets readers
