To be fair, the Mirror has run the story that 'fans SLAMMED' the results show - because Anastasia sang an old song.
![]() ![]() Now THAT'S a story!!! Somebody will be heading for Pulitzer with that! ![]() And badly in my opinion - meaning I prefered the original. But I woudln't expect my opinion on something as subjective to make front page news even if I could find a few thousand people who agree with me. |

So however small the story of Jamelia's dance-off may be, the newspapers are clearly happy to run far smaller ones. Far smaller *other* ones... |

Which I think makes the point nicely. There were 800 or so posts on the Strictly results show blog and I can't remember reading *any* grumbling about an old song - certainly none of the most popular 4 or 5 pages of posts.

Its small alright. Assuming an audience of 9 million the story is 0.008% of the audience thnk that Jamelia should have stayed over Peter. 99.992% of the audience have not expressed a preference.

Correction - "99.992% of the audience have not expressed a preference in public on the internet and social media"

Actually I would have expected the tabloids to have covered it simply because they sell sensationalism - and any whiff of a Strictly scandal they love. Ask Kristina. Or Ben Cohen's motherin-law. Or Ola's calendar...or shock exits or drop out or Anton calling someone a ****.
The Peter /Jamelia fan outrage is the kind of thing the tabloids love, especially given how much is was being talked about across all social media, it's notable that no-one is mentioning the one thing everyone is talking about. |

To those of you who claim there is no story here for the press to cover, I ask this: why did Kristina allegedly not giving the show producers an advance copy of her book (something they had to retract as it was false) make front page news? Why constant coverage of Jay & Aliona having an affair when most of us can see that they aren't?
This IS a story - I suspect the papers are keeping quiet because they know they'll never get any juicy titbits from the beeb or from Andre's camp again if they run this. |

The point is, that's still a bigger percentage than the 0.00000000001% of people who expressed an opinion about Anastasia singing an old song (although I haven't seen any comments about that) yet they still wrote a story about that. It seems a little strange in comparison that the story about the reaction to Peter's DO is completely ignored.
So It would seem to be comparing a story with the narratvie 'Fans are grumpy because Anastacia sings a cover' with 'Fans are grumpy because Jamelia is out despite being a better dancer.' |

Ah OK I see the point being made now. Although there is a difference is that Anastasia did sing an old song So that story is grounded with a fact. Jamelia danced better than Peter is an opinion (one I share as it happens but still an opinion)

It is a fact that hundreds of people have been expressing the opinion that the show is fixed - that's all they really need to make a story if they were so inclined.

Since when have any of the tabloids worried about their stories being grounded in fact?
It is a fact that hundreds of people have been expressing the opinion that the show is fixed - that's all they really need to make a story if they were so inclined.Where in fact it may not have made the papers because the hundreds of people who are allegedely interested in such a story do not make much difference in terms of newspaper sales. Or perhaps it just so happens that the news value is deemed lower than that of other stories. |

in paace world, i'm sure it is. in the real word, it isn't. a fact is something that can be proved true, and dance, like all other art forms, doesn't deal in that sort of concrete truth.

Yet they are not inclined. But the interpretation bias seems to be that this is because there is some conspiracy or corruption between Peter and the tabloids, the BBC and the tabloids, Peter and the BBC or some combination of those.
