The CT have become a joke, desperate stories with no base.
Hey, stop stealing my scoops!
I announced Prince Philip was involved two days ago.
It's a consortium of Robbie Fowler, Prince Philip (they are good mates), Red Bull, Simon Jordan, Jedward, Timmy Mallet, Ann Widdecombe and Red Bull.
A delicious cocktail of beauty, power and drive, that will see the Ricoh transformed into a 120,000 seater stadium, with rectractable roof and NASA rocket launch pad.
It will also be the home of the British government, the G7 and a Krispy Kreme donut stall.
I had to look at that in detail 7 times before I realised it wasn't real.And here's the shit photoshop they can use......
It's not a newspaper any longer it's a classified section which makes money based on how many clicks its idiotic 'exclusives' get.
CT started going downhill when Trinity Mirror moved most of the staff to Birmingham
Which paper is this not true of?
Certainly not the Observer which relies totally on ad revenue (unlike the CT which it's safe to assume makes *some* money from the cover price).
Can we stop making out that the decline of journalism in the 21st century is somehow Simon Gilbert's fault?
All newspapers are click bait shit. This is especially true of local papers that relied on classified ads and sports news in the pre-Internet era.

I don't disagree with your analysis and don't think this is at all the fault of Simon Gilbert. The internet age and social media has given rise to headlines being even more important than they ever were.CT started going downhill when Trinity Mirror moved most of the staff to Birmingham

I don't think you have. The Krispy Kreme stand deal was only announced yesterday.Like many on here we've heard it all before, and I wont believe it until the deal has been signed

No reason why they shouldn't, although obviously if there's taking something off here that is basically a my mate heard this down the pub rumour it should be presented as such. The problem is not only do they not credit the source, they deny they have sourced things from here and then get abusive with people who point it out to them.goes back much further than that Nick, some even pre-dates Simon Gilbert in my opinion. To be honest why shouldn't they use all sources though. Acknowledgement would be nice when they do
This is how modern journalism is apparently.
They rely on clicks to please their advertising customers so they have to print nonsense to encourage us to look at a story.

A load of bollocks usually and it does insult the readership but it is not compulsory to read any of it and the scroll past option is available.
I can understand that, it's more the attitude and treating people as stupid.
That was just the last obvious one I could think of
What bugs me is that I get thinly veiled threats if somebody copies and pastes something on here without a link that I am going to get an invoice for it. Mean while they employ "content writers" to just lift content all day every day.

You wait and see. Not as far fetched as it sounds, though I hear they are not doing the packs of three donuts. My MP is on it as we speak.
