It's clearly clear as day who the public do and don't like.

So why don't ITV bother to get down wiv social media and get down wiv what the people are sayin. :confused:

They love to blow cash like the BBC. :(

    It isn't ..

    I know many on DS like to think they're the barometer of public opinion but it's certainly not the case.

    I see they are now describing "White Dee" as a celebrity. You couldn't make it up could you?

    We have a winner. Though dangerous may be a little strong, perhaps more cutting off one's nose to spite one's face...

    I haven't watched a single episode of Benefits Street, yet I know enough to be disgusted by this. Why are our press so disgustingly irresponsible and stirring?

    You can't even call them a hot mess. More like a bunch of hounds fighting over scraps.

    I find myself getting more annoyed by pointless sound bytes and silly captions blown out of proportion into great big deals in the British press/media. They specialise in taking one part of a quote from a larger context, highlighting it, then ramming their own spin on it to try and get the public onside. Like today's Davina McCall story, basically she's said nothing much, when broken down, and yet people are getting offended all because of how it's been spun by the tabloid.

    How I wish people could see through this trickery and manipulation more often. They're absolute villains and they get paid handsomely for it.

    Couldn't agree more with your assessment. Bravo!
