How utterly ridiculous. People who drum up this sort of thing can hardly be called "journalists".

How did anyone find this out? I didn't even know you could read "The Daily Star". I've just seen it used to wrap up tasty treats like fish 'n' chips or a nice battered sausage. I couldn't call it a newspaper or even a tabloid, it's just pretending to be both and failing miserably so you don't feel guilty when you cover it in grease stains and then send it off to the recycling bins.

I mean, damn, this is fucking wrong. I mean, this is worse than Pyramid Head or Alma from F.E.A.R. What kind of depraved medium would ever fathom a story like this? It's not even funny. Since when has the concept of investigative reportage, which is what the fucking News used to be, been lowered to imaginary stories of the lowest intellectual integrity? There's just no effort here.

It's a british tabloid, what do you expect? This is why we're always annoyed when you post stories sourced from The Daily Mail.
Yes, I never know wether to laugh or cry when foreign people post links to Daily Mail/Express/Sun articles when trying to prove a point about what they think life in Britain is like.
"Look, your own papers say blah blah blah"
"You do realise that is the equivalent of Fox News don't you?"

Dear lord that guy is a twat. He's baffled as to why people are annoyed at his completely made up story? He's made a mistake and now he's insulting the people who are calling him on it in a bid to try and draw attention away from it. Very poor technique.

*Sigh* Humanity amazes me in its ignorance at times. This just like the ME controversy on FOX news a few years back. Seriously, all a bunch of misinformed pricks.

Anyone who's read the Daily Star won't be surprised by this. You have to take some stories with a pinch of salt, and others will require the salt of the dead sea.

I read the sun, and the only stories I'm 100% faithful in are the one's regarding the war.
big snip.
Really? I didn't really read that, all I could feel was the hope, pure, unending hope, that Piers Morgan stumbles across a minefield and gets blown to kingdom come.

I never believe a word Piers Morgan says anyway aha. He is a disgusting reptile of a man.

I...I...what? Oh how the uneducated self serving idiotic scaremongering among the press of this little island never ceases to amaze me. I truly fear for our future as a knowledgeable race if this is what we resort to.

A fake story? Sensationalisation with no eveidence? In the Daily Star? NEVER!

But seriously, the Star is nothing more than a low class TnA mag

Something on the Daily Star is a lie? Why am I not surprised?

Loljournalism, more like the most biased form of information coverage in the world...
