    The paper that put out a story that Amanda Knox was found guilty and put in comments from the prosecutor, described the shock in the courtroom, how Amanda looked stunned and lots more info in descriptive language.

    Except she was found not guilty and none of it ever happened :pac:

    A few weeks ago they had a story where, under the headline, it summarised about how a black kiid was chained to a radiator and beaten to death during the London riots by a cop.

    All well and good. Apart from the fact it never even happened- there was an allegation of mistreatment but no fatal beating. If that had been seen by a mass audience there culd have been another riot :pac:

    In all truth though, yes, it has its agendas, but all in all it is not a bad read. They have a good combination of facts coupled with a good few photos for a clearer picture. Having said that they do have an obsession with z list celebrities.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
