Today's papers tend to stea...errr repeat the news from other papers or just make them up or use press releases from PAs trying to promote the interests of a company,political party or product.

I meant that since the beginning of News Agencies, Newspapers share stories because they get it from the same source (news agencies) for the past 100 years or so.
We need more non-profit news sources and the BBC is one of them, it about time the media was taken control by BBC-style companies
