Did you know that some of their "letters" are written by hacks on that wailing rag? The Times had a piece mentioning it a week or so back. The 1st letter was from a Mrs Patricia Crick of the Wirral, complaining about the grunts of female tennis players at Wimbledon. Strangely, an identical letter appeared in their sister paper, attributed to a Mrs Patricia McMahon, from the considerably more local Dundalk. When questioned about this amazing coincidence, letters staff on the Wail insisted that there must be an error of labelling. Phew, thank goodness for that!
Makes you wonder how far you can trust the Mail to bring you the truth in its editorial content, doesn't it??

I've had a letter printed in a paper so obviously they do print letters from the public but maybe on a bad day they make up some - i'm sure some of those lurid problem page letters in papers like the Sun and News of the World are made up - no one would surely write to a newspaper with those daft problems!

look to the ownership of all media worldwide and you will come to understand the grand design. world war 2 taught the new emerging powergrabbers what all the dictators knew so well. more than half the fight for true power is engaging the hearts and minds of the little people, the unwashed masses. the struggle is nearly over. now ask yourself, you know what Big Brother the talking head is saying but who is pulling his strings? Who controls these global networks and who sets the agenda? Mock and belittle any malcontents and divide and conquor pockets of dissent by bombarded them with endless broadcasts from Big Brother. Who supports this? Not the vast majority of little people, for sure. Anti-union messages and cultural diversification are code words and tactics to disarm unity of the little people. "the people" but there are so many of us! they are intensely aware that the situation can flip over night as recorded in history again and again. the little people have a temper when they finally realize they must hang together or hang separately. the former method gets things done. and the moment could come when the masses of little people turn out in the streets with ropes, shotguns and a quilltine in the town square. the corporations were founded in a nation and are little more than an individual traitor to set up shop and outsource national jobs. they cannot take national industry and transplant in a competing country. that is traitorous to most of we little people. their corporate charters we not allowed in parliment and congress or anywhere else to skip town with the capital amassed on the backs of the little people, the vast majority, who make up the poulation of what we think of as our nation. our homeland, by gawd! it is our country, and they are our corporations and must live by OUR LAWS! corrupt politicians have warped that concept. i reapeat, our country, our corporations which operate at our please or not. that certainly includes the damn media. WHO IS MAD AS HELL and refuses to take it anymore? we are the little people and we are the majority that vote in our so-called. it is time to trust nobody running for office. they will tell you anything. Need much strong call-back provisions. When they fail to perform, when we suspect them of wrong-doing, a quick recall ballot will turn them out until a replacement is decided upon within a reasonable time. a temp should always be working in the wings. IT IS BROKEN-- fix it! Or accept their crumbs and free beer and rot.

If you believe a word you read in the daily mail or any other tabloid rag then you want your head sorting out.
Anyone who bases opinions on the drivel in these papers are always angry about one group of people or another due to the lies they read daily.

Never trust anything you read!
All newspapers and magazines do that in some form or another. I'm sure even The Times has been guilty of it.

If you trust any form of media then you have to be stupid.
they are in it to make money, not to print honest reports (never let the truth get in the way of a good story)

maybe all people called patricia really dont like grunting tennis players. have you ever thought about that?
go on polls & surveys and ask all the patricias their opinion.

Must admit I see the same name pop up alot in papers and mags, the only reason I notice this womans name is that she lives in the same town as me.
She either writes alot per week or she is made up too. LOL

I suspect that hacks on all papers contribute to their letter pages.
