Wow, I'm jolly glad to see that the biggest news story in the WHOLE world is that Tony Blair has converted to Catholicism.
It almost makes getting out of bed this morning worthwhile.

ReplyDeleteIn other news, the Lakota Sioux have legally renounced all treaties and ties with the USA and have formed their OWN COUNTRY.
I can see how that's a footnote to the obviously superior news about a has-been's flip-flopping between faiths.
To be fair in all this, it's not Tony Blair's fault. He's just attended a ceremony in private and in his own time to convert, much as someone might get confirmed in the Church of England.
ReplyDeleteBut the media have jumped on it, and it for me shows the shallowness of media reporting in general.
Personally I would prefer all the news right now to be focused on the fact that the government wants us all to hand over personal data, DNA samples, retina scans etc. in the near future and store it in one convenient location. Where is the proper reporting? Looking at the feasibility of all this and whether in light of the current data security breaches whether it is sensible?
Oh no, it's easier for some lazy half-arsed non-story about someone's personal beliefs.
