I have long been of the opinion that western media relies upon trolling to stay in business. There isn't enough genuine news to motivate the masses into buying every day, so they select stories that will inflame their audience and run with them.
Some of the stuff I've read in the last few days has been an insult to the intelligence. For example, the European politician that referred to the UK's post-Brexit position as being like "Zimbabwe." And the newspapers ran it, without delivering the mockery the comment deserved.
Laughable.

What type of newspapers do you read  |

What type of newspapers do you read Farage was partying in Washington. Too busy. |

"The medium is the message" is a phrase coined by Marshall McLuhan meaning that the form of a medium embeds itself in any message it would transmit or convey, creating a symbiotic relationship by which the medium influences how the message is perceived.

Hard work being a Member of the European Parliament with barely GBP 85k per year. I guess that explains he needs to sacrifice his few holidays for personel leave and buy his own ticket cattleclass to go to the USA. No wonder he jumped when Fox News offered to engage him. Surely all will benefit from him paying taxes due in Europe  |
