I'm enjoying your blog, nice to see i'm not alone in many of my opinions.

Sounds like they've taken away your "Daily Mirror" and banned you from
the saloon bar.

What specifically is it that provokes some to accuse others of being a Daily
**** reader?

If I think that many politicians are parasitic scumbags, for example, does
that mean I am prone to being brainwashed by the media?

An interesting point. I only know one MP personally. Looking at his
lifestyle, I think he's reasonably clean as far as expenses go. If
the next witch-hunt is about freebie jaunts around the world he might
suffer a bit :-)

Apart from that, my information comes from the media. When they
report on something I know about, the tendency is to get it
consistently and grossly wrong. Or they focus obsessively on a minor
aspect of the subject.

Anyway, that blog DOES read like saloon bar ranting or the Mirror on a
bad day :-)
