Things that make me shout at the radio: April 2012

Friday’s news of the world

We may no longer have Murdoch’s riveting, true life, actual factual newspaper from the world of where everybody knows your business even when you had your phone hacked and were lied to and all that, but we at Tregartha Dinnie have actual headlines from across the more ‘senior’ media outlets.

So what is making news today…

Jeremy Hunt and his abject naught-ness

Hunt to hand over private emails

Jeremy Hunt has said he will hand over all correspondence with his special adviser over the Sky takeover bid to the Leveson Inquiry amid pressure for a separate probe into his conduct. (BBC News Online) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17867537

Bad boy number 2- must be old age and forgetfulness all this telling the truth. How convenient…

Murdoch apologises for cover-up

Rupert Murdoch apologises, and says there was a 'cover-up' at the NoW.

Leveson inquiry hears News Corp boss admit phone-hacking affair at the tabloid had left a 'serious blot' on his reputation http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/apr/26/rupert-murdoch-apologises-leveson-inquiry

Others...

And on Sky News online… well surprisingly enough there doesn’t appear to be a headline grabbing top story on Murdoch.

So we turn to the Daily Express with headline winner and completely non-plussed in all regards to anything resembling politics and media interest: “60MPH GALES TO BATTER BRITAIN”

and

Financial times with “Spanish economic crisis deepens”

Hey, what's trending (Fri 26th April to be precise...)

"I seriously cannot handle this," tweeted Cole. "I don't think my heart can take much more of this battle business ... everyone is so talented. #thevoiceuk is giving me anxiety lol." We're sure she watches BGT on catch-up. Daily Star, P7

Tregartha Dinnie asked the Twitter trending questions...

Today the UK twitter trends looks like this:

The question we have is whether Ann Widdecombe really is a stormtrooper (Star Wars reference for you no film buffs) or if she would prefer to be Theresa May's friend...all lies in the trend and maybe there lies the answer..

The phone call we get at Tregartha Dinnie every day on the hour, every hour…

Colour Separation vs the actual fact it is advertorial and WE CAN ALL SEE WHAT YOU’RE DOING PUBLICATIONS!

Honest, you don't disguise it well.

Jolly good old chap…

Bunting all round'

What makes Britain British? A pork pie, the Olympics, royalty when we bother or when we get a day in lieu, the tension in very possibly nearly having another petrol crisis, the failing economy, the flag or Waitrose…?
