But that's the depressing thing. It IS a good story. Any decent journalist knows that.
It's a good story in that it's a bums on seats story and sells newspapers to a barely literate audience. Oh dear, did I just say that and I grew up in a council house? Oh dear oh dear. But it's true though.
From charterhouse to a council house,that's the gr8 thing about this board,the quality of diversity.

Watergate didn't exactly bore ordinary people. It's utterly specious to suggest that journalists don't tell this story because it won't sell papers - it would sell masses of papers.
