    Answer D, although “hate” is too strong a word……”have lamented for” is better.

    “News” is very hard to find anymore.  “Infotainment” has replaced it.

    Having been involved in shepherding 30  bad taste ‘media’ reps  on a Royal tour many years ago, their actions put a bad taste in my mouth forever. Some were o0k but many were drunken scum.

    For a long time I have no illusions – mostly lack of depth or prejudice and bad gossip.

    I also think “hate” is too strong a word. Plus, I didn’t like a lot (not all) of the media “in the UK” long before this.  I’ve found media in Canada a lot different from the UK.  I don’t “hate” the Cdn. media.

    News of the World was never normal journalism, so its well-deserved demise says little about journalism.

    The survey is flawed.  Obviously there is a difference in media.  Not all media is alike.  The elimination of Fox News by those who would control thought is at the heart of this event.  Communists and their Shariah Brothers dislike free speech and dissent.  They hate Fox News.  They hate Freedom, the American Sovereign Way and Constitutiuonal Restraint. Here we see free speech under attack by those who would bind us with One Mind.  Fork ‘em.

      I’m not sure where the ‘free speech’ part comes in   ???  I thought it was about privacy and ethical behaviour  amongst jounalist types.
