Michael Jackson, Weather, Sport, Michael Jackson, Weather, Sport

Charlie Brooker covers most of it here.
I thought the BBC was bad (no pun intended) but I reckon Sky’s abysmal wall-to-off-the-wall coverage must make even their journalists red-faced. Highlights included what the Wimbledon players thought of Michael Jackson’s death.
A short-term gain in ratings made while sacrificing long-term credibility.
BTW – I may have to rebuild/fix main computer this week and/or next. Posting may be even more erratic than recently.
24 hour news desparate for G20 riots

Watching Sky News yesterday, you could sense the desparation for there to be a bloody exciting riot to give the ratings a boost. (sorry Niall)
Chicken Yoghurt covers the media coverage very succinctly.
London Evening Standard and The Daily Mail – A bitter divorce?
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009
Has the recent purchase of The London Evening Standard given its contributors and editors carte blanche to dump its previous owner The Daily Mail Group in the shit?
Emma Duncan (deputy editor of The Economist) writes in today’s London Evening Standard about the BBC and the DEC Gaza appeal.
My belief that Mr Thompson was right is strengthened by reports that the BBC has had 10,000 complaints. I’m pretty sure this isn’t because 10,000 cross individuals have rung or written off their own bat. I’m fairly certain that you need an organised campaign to get that sort of tidal wave of emails and phone calls.
Hmmm..
From the Daily Mail (19th November 2008):
The corporation has now received more than 42,000 complaints over the foul messages left for Mr Sachs by Ross, 47 and 33-year-old Brand.”
