Oh! What tangled webs they weave

1 day ago by notareargunner In the New Year it will be three years since Notareargunner started to fight for RIGHTS for the late Andy Miller and his children. With the rare exceptions of Emma Cruces (Lancashire Telegraph) and Kate Watkins (MEN), the media reporting has been poor and often trivialising. It is small wonder then that it has taken the Hillsborough Families 22 years to get recognition from any meaningful government office whilst the media top reporters behave like baboons at a clan gathering. WE DON’T EXPECT YOU TO BEHAVE LIKE SAINTS! WE DO WANT THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. If your private lives get in the way of delivering it, then get into another bed.

Yet Andy Marr fathering a child with Alice Miles whilst married to Jackie Ashley goes unreported. Across newsrooms, at Islington and Hampstead dinner parties it has been common knowledge for years. These three journalists are at the heart of the politico-media nexus that constitutes the new ruling class. The producers and editors who are the media gate-keepers would not be keen to dish the dirt on their own… despite the fact that it would be of huge interest to the public.
