Daily Mail Posts in Lies Shocker
It is not unusual for a newspaper to write up two versions of a story, so that when the announcement is made, they can get their story online faster.
What the Daily Mail did tonight went above and beyond being prepared.
They made up the story. Fabricated quotes.
This is not being prepared, having two versions of the story ready to go out. It is plain and simple lying.
If we start just making up the story, attributing quotes to people, writing about suicide watch and psychological assessments, then we may as well just not bother calling it news. Lets call it gossip. Fabrication. Lies. Assumption.
But please – lets not call it “journalism”

This is disgusting. It’s no wonder so many people think she’s guilty, when they read what the media releases. They believe every word, even though this just proves that the media is ALL fabrication. Gossip sells.

I do think that there are some honest journalists out there, but people who write this kind of nonsense should not be allowed to call themselves a journalist.
