Firstly, with the week long relaunch delay (not that the Guardian's media editor knows about it), we've got to fill the space with something- there is a limit to speculation, especially when most is known. Where with this forum be without the occasional slanging match?
You see, that's beautiful slanging- that's far more interesting to read than the latest ITV regional news ident subset for the Western half of the Orkney islands. Anyway back on topic (as if you'd close the "featured thread"
)
And I'd expect you to say all that because you're a lefty, who likes to read things he agrees with. Perhaps my "quality" remark was a little tongue-in-cheek, but the point remains that Media Guardian are hopelessly biased against the BBC, and their online arm generally misreport/misinterpret (read "blantently alter") far more stories than most outlets would consider "respectable".
That however, would be selective listening. She didn't say N24 was "boring, lifeless, crap at breaking news", but she was critical of some aspects of the service (as I'm sure she would be of Sky news). She also pointed out that the idea that Sky break more news "first" is a misconception proven by independent research.
Oh and I don't defend N24 to hilt anymore than you defend Sky.
I also just love your selective responding- I'll take the ignoring of my post on why the potential new look astons don't resemble sky news as an admission of your "level of stupidity I have yet to see matched on here"

tsunami - your assertion that the Guardian and quality do not go together shows a level of stupidity I have yet to see matched on here.

Quite how you are able to come to the conclusion that a newspaper responsible for bringing down the last government through exposure of sleaze allegations, a newspaper that uncovered genocide in Eastern Europe, a newspaper whose Comment pages formed the platform for the SDLP on which to launch, quite how you come to a conclusion that a newspaper like that is not of "quality" is beyond me.

What I find so wonderfully ironic is that these past few years I have been saying what a disastrous mess News 24 is: boring, lifeless, crap at breaking news. For years you have been disagreeing with me, defending it to the hilt. And yet just the other day, the woman in charge of the channel itself comes out and backs up everything I've said.
Remarkable. Truly remarkable.
