hedda	on Wikipedia- I drew a rebuke from an "editor' who claimed I was - by continually changing MWT's entry and adding his Blackmail prosecution- which MWT would delete after a few days....that I was 'defaming' him. After some argy bargy with Wikipedia "founder" Jimmy Wales who I threatened to sue for libel if his "editors" continued to (falsely) acccuse me of defamation- we reached a settlement. I could change MWT's entry and so could he. A tennis game. Did I actually see Alison Saunders on Morning TV with MWT ?..unbelievable. I've always hated morning /breakfast TV and Bruce Gyngell once told me he knew it was such an appalling idea catering to the Lowest Common Denominator that it would be a huge success ! ## Clyde Packer, Kerry's brother applied the same concept when buying US TV shows for Packer's network. he would show them to a theatre of morons and if they clapped- he'd buy them.
JK2006	Yes Chris - from an objective point of view it's interesting noticing how many small details the media get wrong… then "chinese whispers" they spread, due to other papers reprinting them without checking (bad, bad journalism)… all started by police and CPS exaggerating them in order to get a better case and then the media, reporting the cases, exaggerating them further to make "a better story". And, naturally, Wikimedia - another source for lazy journalists (the majority) which is overwhelmingly edited by people who also prefer the negative viewpoint (better story) who then chop and twist the new "facts" in order to conform with the better story.
Chris Retro	I see The Daily Heil claim you "appeared on Top Of The Pops regularly with It Only Takes A Minute"! And there was me thinking you only appeared the once as 100 Ton & A Feather - plus a 'Ruby Flipper' routine on the missing 1st July 76 edition. You learn something new every day.
JK2006	This explains the sudden interest - it's on BBC2 by the way. www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/b...BBC-documentary.html www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/local-na...gramme-30615846.html www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2770195...mentary-Genesis.html
Chris Retro	I see The Gargoyle is 'outing' BBC4 on Twitter this morning for daring to interview JK this morning. Perfect timing - as I begin an article on the cultural and moral demise of the BBC, naming names of all Enemies of Every License Payer
