Lxxx Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Newspapers: Not the force they were and don't have huge pull on opinion. Most readers are older and have established views anyway. A declining influence. And you genuinely believe this? I think the fact that major national newspaper circulation has fallen by nearly half since 2000 might tell it's own story. You don't suppose folks are reading their fave newspaper online do you? People aren't reading their favourite newspapers as much full stop anymore, online or print. There was a time when you only got your news from a small number of sources, now there are a multitude of avenues which means people don't subscribe as much to a single, daily, editor-driven view anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody2 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 But the report divided the cross-party committee, with some members saying it was too pessimistic about Brexit. Some MPs walked out of a private meeting of the committee as the report was being finalised .But they were outnumbered by Labour, Liberal Democrat, SNP and SDLP committee members, all of whom backed Remain in last year's referendum. Mr Whittingdale said he thought the report was "unduly negative" and had "very much concentrated on the problems without really recognising the opportunities" of Brexit. Mr Raab added: "The report was rushed, skewed and partisan. After two reports that had strong support, it's regrettable that this one split the committee. "That undermines its credibility and influence, but I hope and expect the committee will learn the right lessons as we move forward." facts... Yes, committee wasn't fully in agreement on some items, nevertheless, the report by The National, was word for word lifted from the parliamentary report, that is incontrovertibly a fact. That is what we're currently arguing about. A simple apology is fine and we can move on. "snp force change to unenforceable report that may must respond to snp's unreasonable demands over eu" fact.... Did The National report verbatim the words in that report? its fakenews thicko....

P.K. Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 @ PK: We subscribe to an e-paper. Unfortunately then it's not so easy to discuss things over breakfast! True. Lots of things where the analogue solution has the edge. I'd cancel the subscription, though. I think it must be extremist. It certainly is! I almost forgot how keen you are to discover my media sources! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIchard Britten Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Its good to see Theresa May is keeping one of the most important and fractious events in UK history on the back burner to get to the real important business of weighing in on the Cadburys Easter Hunt scandal....
