The media tends to report rumors, speculations, and projections as facts... How does the media do this? By quoting some "expert"... you can always find some expert who will say something hopelessly hopeless about anything.

A new low for the Daily Mail? PDF Print E-mail
Written by Uponnothing

Found this interesting comment over on Tabloidwatch's blog and have copied and pasted it here to demonstrate just how low the Daily Mail stoop to bash the BBC. No further comment is needed:

...there was a classic piece of Mail-ese Beeb bashing today...

The front page includes a picture of the new Doctor Who girl, Karen Gillan, and the headline:

'Doctor Who's new girl 'too sexy'.

The article inside has quotes from fans on messageboards. Well, two, to be precise.

One is:

"'They've completely demeaned Doctor Who by replacing good episode stories with slutty girls.' "

So I googled it...

It brings up this:

Scroll down, 'un-hide' a comment at the bottom and you find:

"They've completely demeaned Doctor Who by replacing good episode stories with slutty girls. Ew, I hope Karen Gillan gets killed off, ugly mother fhucker."

Nice, eh? Wonder why they missed out the second part.

The other quote they used...

"'Why did she dress up as a tarty policewoman? Surely that's not fitting for a family show.' "

Well check out this post from DigitalSpy, dated 17/12/09.

"Amy Pond - Do we know why she's dressed as a tarty policwoman??


Any Idea?

I'm guessing she's not an actual policewoman??

I did think strippogram but surely thats not fitting for a family show...

so, any ideas?? "

In the bigger scheme of things, it's probably not that important.

But it highlights their quality journalism and exhaustive research.

by the way that comment/question is phrased, it seems like it was actually from before the episode went out.
so, that's two souced comments, one is people talking about what MIGHT be in a tv program that hasn't been shown yet, and the other from a twat.
nice one mail.

Woodward & Bernstein obviously got it all wrong. THIS is investigative journalism is all about.

The reason why Amy Pond was dressed as a "tarty policwoman [sic]" throughout this week's episode of "Doctor Who" was because she works as a kissogram, not a strippogram or a real policewoman. She actually tells the Doctor this shortly after they first meet in the present, when he's still handcuffed to the radiator (yay fanservice!). Obviously, whoever made the original comment wasn't paying much attention to the dialogue.

And I wouldn't be at all surprised if today's Daily Mail contains a few extra-large photos of Karen Gillian to show their readers just how disgracefully slutty and sexy she is.
