Yesterday (4/10/13) the online division of the UK's Daily Mail newspaper (MailOnline) published an article claiming that Rihanna's video for the "Pour it Up" single has prompted outrage from Rihanna's fans who have dubbed it as vile. This article itself appears to have stirred up quite a lot of outrage by Rihanna fans against the Daily Mail. However I'm arrogant enough to think this is just a way to get me to comment on the other big scandal that the Daily Mail has been engulfed in this week.
Last Saturday (28/9/13) the right-wing Daily Mail published a comment piece claiming that the leader of the left-wing opposition Labour Party Ed Miliband's political views have been influenced by his hardcore Communist father who the newspaper claimed hated British values such as democracy and free speech. Ed Miliband and the Labour Party have spent the past week feigning outrage at what they dubbed an invasion of privacy and a personal attack in order to generate public support for tighter regulation of the press. As a free press is one of the cornerstones of a democratic society this rather proves the Daily Mail's point.
Anyway I'm going back to sitting on the sofa and staring into the middle distance because I think it was my brother who pointed out the last time the Labour Party were apoplectic with rage about press criticism nothing screams that a political party is ready for power then whining that the press don't like them(!)
