It’s probably a little mean of me to dust off the yellow blowtorch that is the Media Moron Watch for this piece from politics.co.uk.

The CEP is setting up a Media Watch group to keep tabs on the media and report any inaccuracies. The BBC have made efforts to improve their reporting of items that relate only to England but they are still the worst offenders by a long way.  They aren’t alone, though - even local newspapers make the

Originally, the article said: With the country also at war with the French and Dutch, paranoid xenophobia - a familiar English trait - was rife. The passage has now changed to: With

Welcome to the concluding part of a two-part series about the real impact social media (or social networking) is having on politics in Britain. Last week I looked at the groups which face extinction; today it’s why pundits searching for the impact of social media on politics in 2010 are looking in the wrong place. For

Hat tip to the salted slug "They tell us to watch what we say; They tell us to watch what we think; They tell us to watch what we eat; They tell us to watch what we drink; They tell us to watch the feral youth outside of our homes and prey they don't turn their attentions towards us; we avoid the imperious glances of the Police; we hide from council cronies with police powers; we watch a thir...
