England's Media

Although I have ragging on America media for most of this blog, the truth remains that the media of other countries are far worse.

Go to Germany, for example, and girls age 13 can be buying magazines focused on advice for girls, and they get a male center fold in the middle. (I saw this ten years ago when I was in Germany.)

Japan's television is awful - you can see naked men and women having wheelbarrow races, etc.

And then we've got England, whose papperazi make our papperazi look like choir boys. Most recently of course is the News of the World scandal, where apparently for several years, reporters would hack into the phones of dead people - most recently, a murdered teenage girl. A reporter hacked into her phone and deleted messages - apparently the inbox was full - in hopes that more people would call the phone and leave messages that they could then publish.

But of course what this guy did was make it seem like the girl was still alive (who else could delete messages from phone?) and give her parents false hope when she'd actually been dead for sometime.
