But who reads Ruth Kelly to get their news? News sources should not 'be in touch' with anyone in that kind of sense. Its not a club, or the Reactionist Xenophopic Weekly. Its a newspaper that uses emotion, selective use (or lack of use) of facts, misleading headlines, and use of images to suit their own agenda.
I.E The recent Scandel over the BAE contract, although Blair was one of the lesser people that could be blamed, they featured a big picture of him looking smug. A murder happened a few years ago which the Mail blamed on the game Manhunt, when it was pointed out by the police that the game was found in the victims bedroom, the mail ignored it and continued to attack this game that 'inspired a kid to murder' etc etc. Lets not forget the Winterval lies as well.
Anti-Immgration, Anti-Liberal, Anti-Muslim, Anti-BBC, Anti-Gaming, Anti-Truth. I Dont mind if people want to read something that agrees with them and is 'in touch' with people but I do mind it pretending to be a good source of news.
