Now the News Of The World takes a pop at Jonathan Ross

quisquose · 25-01-2009, 01:59

From today's News Of The World:

Ross does sick OAP sex gag
http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/news...stingId=143471

This is a total non story as far as I'm concerned and says more about the people that are out to get him than it does about Ross.

If the likes of Mediawatch director John Beyer, who we find offensive, get their way then we're off.

Anyway, here's my contribution to the comments in the NOTW 'article'.

Quote:

The guy overstepped the mark with the Sachs attempt at humour it has to be said, and I'm not particularly a fan of his but, this media driven 'witch-hunt' against him is actually quite disturbing.

Our sense of humour is everything, and in the current climate is even more important.

The misery merchants can smell blood, but to allow them to control what and who we can watch would be a disaster. In fact I would go so far to say I am 'offended' by the likes of Mediawatch director John Beyer.

My wife commented that our favourite programme QI has not been as funny so far this series, and I am sure that is a direct result of all this.

Isn't that the aim of all rags?

I suppose it is skinz. It's just a pity most of the reading nation fall for it week in week out.

the only person to blame here is MR Woss and Mr Brand ,not the NOTW, which is a quality paper.

You carry on believing that. I suppose the NOTW is about as taxing reading gets for you.

id rather read that ,than some left wing propaganda rag like the Guardian

vidster · 25-01-2009, 03:20

So there is only the NOTW and the uardian available these days then?

Personally i prefer to read my news online from various sources.

For you I would have thought TNOTW would have been a little challenging.

Then again it does have lotsa pretty pictures to stimulate the intellectually challenged.

Strix · 25-01-2009, 03:28

lets face it, the whole Ross thing is just another 'dangerous dogs' thing

the media are breathing down his neck and whipping up hysteria when they could find easier pickings elsewhere if they chose to sensationalise the comments of virtually any other presenter

Why hasn't that irritating twerp Graham Norton had all of his snipes, digs and downright nasty comments torn to shreds? Could that just be because it's not his turn?

ROFL - I love ironic posts

MR BENN · 25-01-2009, 03:33

Totally agree with you Strix. GN has to be one of the most disgusting people on the planet a far as i am concerned. He delights in mocking easy targets in the most distasteful way on every show. He shold be taken off air for good.

your starting to sound like a right winger my friend

Strix · 25-01-2009, 03:35

He WAY outguns Woss on the sexual suggestions and put downs front (don't think Woss does put-downs, come to think - well not unless it's a good mate of his, and all in good humour)

I quite liked his 'annoyance character' in the Father Ted episode, but that's about it.
