Couldn't agree with you more Scrabb. I am convinced plenty of these msm hacks know exactly the bollox they are spreading and are quite happy to take the filthy lucre for it. I am fully aware of that famous Chomsky interview with Marr when he informs him that if he believed any different he wouldn't be sitting where he is sitting but I never found that completely convincing. Plenty of these msm hacks have received no end of emails and communications from concerned citizens, containing accurate information, from impeccable sources which question their reporting. How many times have we seen a reply saying thanks for the email, you raise some important points but then, if pushed a little further get all bent out of shape and cut off the communication, often with a reference to how they are a professional and not to be questioned or their integrity impugned. They get far too touchy about this in my opinion because they know someone has peeked behind their smoke and mirrors. Aaronovitch, Simpson, Cohen, White, Snow, Wark....too many to mention, are all too ready to get defensive and dismissive of any criticism, even when it is patently obvious they are talking bollox. Just watch any of these msm hacks when they go on tv programmes like "Have I Got News For You". They are so clever and smug and can't wait to laugh at the politicians and political stories that are highlighted and show how cool they are by not being taken in by any of it and basking in the applause for making their clever remarks. Then, just a few hours later, you'll find them back in their cosy studios and having cosy interviews with the very same politicians and discussing the same political stories that they were earlier laughing at and poking fun at. No laughing at them in the studio though, they are treated with kid gloves and allowed to spill their snake oil all over the place. A lot of these hacks know exactly what they are doing. If they don't, then I'm the King of Siam.
