Never let the truth spoil a good story

[glojo]

I was reading a newspaper article on another thread and it instantly reminded me of this:

The front page exposure of the awful event beggars believe until you actually read what really happened.

The headline infers that a Father Christmas character was assaulted in a Torquay store?

The truth is he fell over outside some shops in Dawlish. He was not dressed as Father Christmas, he was not assaulted, nor mugged. He does say he was pestered by some children but at no stage does he say he was assaulted.

Some of us belief everything we read whereas others tend to query events.

Ouch Yeh right

I have been involved in far too many very serious incidents to take any newspaper report seriously.

I once spoke personally to the editor of a national newspaper (not an easy task) and challenged them over an article. The answer I got was, "If we were to print the truth then no one would be interested" That is the exact quote, word for word from the editor of one of the Mirror Group newspapers.

Having said that I have been put into a top hotel in London (right opposite Downing Street) for a fortnight, all expenses paid, just to give eveidence on behalf of a certain Suday newspaper.

Do I believe any governmeent?
