Bullshit Journalism:
It's always been present, of course, but now news outlets seem to make up half their damned stories, it would seem.
"A Palace Aide said ....."
"A close friend is reported as saying ......."
"Sources close to Fred Smith say he's ....."
Well who are these people? If they're not going to give their name then imo they don't actually exist so don't publish the bloody 'story'
Plus the extensive use these days of clickbait headlines such as "Possibility of a huge 4th wave of Covid !!!" (for instance) followed by constant use of the words 'might, possibly, could,' etc. peppered with undisclosed sources .... all amounting to a non-story which is a complete fiction just filling space.
I think I'll become a Journo. A Hack. It's obviously piss-easy. My first headline will be:
Sources close to Mrs LaFeles state that she doesn't actually watch Corrie so obviously consumed the child herself. She will be sentenced at a later date after psychiatric investigations are completed.

@Inspire you
Again posting comments not fitting this thread. Twice now I've removed posts by you.
Your uncalled for comments about the death of a baby some years ago was uncalled for and the comments you were replying too were taken well out of context.

When the weather started getting cool, I decided to make sure I was ready when the day came to turn on the furnace. I looked for the extended lighter to light the pilot light. Couldn't find it so I bought another, a package of 3.
1st lighter: I tried to pull the trigger, but it wouldn't budge. I noticed it had a child safety button. I pushed it and the trigger still wouldn't move. I played with that darn thing for 10 minutes, I bet. Finally gave up.
2nd lighter: Pushed the child safety button and pulled the trigger. It lit, but the flame was so small and weak, even the slightest air movement made the flame go out. I turned the flame adjuster, but the flame stayed small and weak.
3rd lighter: Pushed the child safety button, pulled the trigger...nothing. It sparked, but no flame. Tried several times, results the same. I don't think it had any fluid in it at all. I should have taken them back right then and there. But life happens. I got distracted, shoved them in a drawer and all was forgotten.
Time comes to light the pilot, but forgot which one worked and had to go through them again to find the one that worked. Turned the knob on the furnace to light the pilot. I pulled the trigger on the lighter. It lit with the small weak flame. Put it near the gas outlet and the flame went out. I shut off the gas, played with the lighter some more. Finally it lit. Turned the knob for the pilot, put the flame next to the outlet...went out again.
I used to buy one in a package, but occasionally, I'd get one that was defective. Then I started buying 3 to a package. Sometimes one would be defective, but the other two worked. This is the first time where all 3 were defective. I think Quality Control was off that day.
