Colkitto Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yes, the media recycling stories... who would have thought it? From a year ago with no mention when the bet was actually placed. Makes you wonder why they would do such a thing with a massive lead of being 20 points ahead in the polls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are aware that newspapers regurgitate last year's stories as "new" news all the time, aren't you? Maybe you need a subscription to Private Eye if this is shocking news to you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 There are examples in PE all the time. Along with of course "exclusives" that have already been reported elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaven Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 There are examples in PE all the time. Along with of course "exclusives" that have already been reported elsewhere.

H_B Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Reported elsewhere a year before? Yes. Often reported... in the exact same newspaper, and dusted off as a new story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yes. Often reported... in the exact same newspaper, and dusted off as a new story. Never seen this before, calling your bluff unless you come up with some evidence, be very specific now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's speaking TOTAL PISH although I am very happy to admit I was wrong if I get some CLEAR EVIDENCE/EXAMPLES of this.

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 HB's right in that newspapers (and particularly newspapaer columnists) often just rehash old stories when they need to fill space. There are examples in Private Eye all the time. I can't remember any recent specific ones off the top of my head, but The Daily Express' quest to have a Princess Diana story on the front page virtually every day used to see them reprinting the same old pish repeatedly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Daily Mail update them, keep the old stuff and add the new so you can get the full story, but they do not do what STV has just done with that story yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Private Eye. Lulz. Got started on in that place at New Years, shower of p***ks, went in with 2 mates who were keen and faced about 30 strippers and no other blokes, 2 of them went away and one by one I knocked the strippers back refusing to part with a wad of cash for a few minutes of tits/flange, for one of them the rejection was to much to handle and she started shouting things like 'are you gay?' 'Whats your problem you're just upsetting everyone' etc etc after I told her to politely 'get to f**k' she squared up to me, forcing the bouncers to remove me from the premises. Had the last laugh though as 2 said mates came out £80 lighte..... Oh f**k, you said Private Eye, no Eyes... I agree, Private Eye = 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
