Legs Gate

It's the eve of Brexit and the a row has erupted in the Left Wing media of the showing of both Nicola Sturgeon and Prime Minister Theresa May legs on the front page of the Daily Mail newspaper.

Opinions being spun in the Guardian by Owen Jones show a fixation the left of the political divide with Adolf Hitler, that being said Mr Jones only called the Daily Mail a Hitler supporting newspaper. His left wing counterpart Ken Livingston however is the king of obsession with Hitler.

However I don't see any problem with the legs of two middle aged women dressed in business attire being plastered on the front page of a newspaper. It would seem the readership of the Daily Mail doesn't care either, an interesting note to point out is that the Daily Mail has the biggest readership of female readers.

So what is the real problem? It could be that the bitterness in the Guardian and bashing the Daily Mail has had an effect on its readers. The Daily Mail doesn't have the begging bowl out like the Guardian does on its website, pleading for support.

If you want your newspaper to be successful, don't bash your competitors, it make you look a bit pathetic.

The Real Breaking News On Fox News

It started way back sometime pre-2005 for me, but my viewing of Fox News or the Fox News Channel has been a turbulent one, but i have somehow found myself switching back to it, not for the news, but simply for a show called "The Five."

Airing at 5pm EST, The Five is somewhat a show where 4 perceived to be Conservatives batter a lonely Democrat in braces with abuse, threats, the kitchen sink if they could. It's fun and entertaining, but not really family viewing and the tagline of Fox News becomes somewhat dubious, "Fair & Balanced", in other words and similar to the mantra of the Socialist in the UK, "Do as we say or F**K Off!"

Back to my post title, the real breaking news for Fox News is that there is No breaking news, switch the channel on for yourself, it's 5 minutes of content, 20 minutes of adverts and useless tat by way of Fox News Extra, which can only be described as stuff you don't need to know, but we're going to tell you anyway.

Even funnier was the advert for Fox News in Venezuela, it was a American chap speaking English referring viewers to the Fox News Latino website, suppose some of the viewers in Venezuela don't speak a word of English. I'm sort of dubious to the airing of Fox News in Venezuela anyway knowing the political makeup of the country, i would have thought the channel would have been banned.

 Later on you get a evening of more adverts and useless tat by way of Fox News Extra, we get to more opinion shows, the master of the "No Spin Zone" Bill O'Reilly, a entertaining man, but the show is quite lackluster now.

To sum up, Fox News "Fair & Balanced", not if you're a Fat Democrat who wears Braces!

Flipboard vs Paper.li

A couple of days ago i notice that Flipboard has added a interesting feature to their app, create you're own magazine with content you want.

The concept isn't that new, Paper.li allows members to create their own magazine, it's pretty good in some respects, but it doesn't bring the content that i actually like, rather it aggregates from hashtags to the online magazine.

Flipboard on the other hand lets you manually add what you're reading to you're own magazine, the content you actually like is there and is ready to share.

i've always held Flipboard in high esteem, especially as i like to read the news on the go.

So is creating you're own magazine the future of news aggregation?
