Nor, for that matter, do I need the EU telling me what to think, what values are acceptable and which journalists are approved to write the news I choose to read:

so wanting a decent press means I am left wing.

I think you are happy with lies as they suit your political swing. I didnt mention anything politically I just mentioned inaccurate stories which of course seem to be much more common in both the mail and sun than other papers, but they not the only 2 papers at it.

If a news story thats accurate is printed but I dont like the truth thats fair enough, very different to complete rubbish been printed.

Are you a journalist, as maggy has said?

Unusual viewpoint.
where did I say that?

newpaper articles are not meant for voicing opinions they are for reporting factual stories.

blogs are more suited to opinions yet I find blogs posting more facts than newspaper articles, its backwards.

Also if a story is proven to be trash against an individual and especially if they rich they have legal recourse.

Lets say a story is printed saying "army veterans will not be treated the same as DLA fraudsters" and you wanted to take legal action as been labeled as a fraudster whats the legal procedure for that?
