Gutter 'yellow' journalism began on 1 October 1843 with John Browne Bell’s News Of The World priced at three pence (£1.04 today). It was the cheapest newspaper of its time and aimed directly at the newly literate (if very gullible) Anglo working classes. Quickly established as a purveyor of titillation, shock and criminal news, much of it’s material came from coverage of vice prosecutions, including police descriptions of alleged brothels, streetwalkers, and "immoral" women. Soon, the paper became the most widely read ‘Sunday’, with initial circulation of around 12,000 copies a week.
However from the late-1950s OZ/late 1960s UK/late 1980s US, Mob-Rule Rat Rupe (mis)lead/Dumbed Down the whole Anglo-US/UK/CAN/OZ/NZ/IE mass-media ratpack, plus elected politicians and a still too trusting (very gullible) public in a race-to-base instincts for greed, ratings and profit. By far more than anyone HE mass-produced ignorance, twisting facts into myths for profit and pruriene, NOT public interest or protection. From 1959 his constant climate-of-crap, created fear and loathing leading directly to TWO child-suicides by 1971 making Mob Rule Rupe a Double-Child Killer! With millions Murdoch mislead since and an all time low (thus far) his Sewer Of The World Mob Rule Paedophile-riots of summer 2000. Leading to a grotesquely distorted law notification of known so called ‘Paedophiles’. Though all leading agencies since the 1950s have shown that a vast 92% of Serious Child Abuse is NON-Sex/NON-Stranger Serious Child Abuse, yet ‘criminally’ Murdoch-media ignored, and that so called ‘Child Sex Crime’ is in any case 90% NON-coercive/‘victimless’ - and ALWAYS AOC jurisdiction varied. Meaning that now in phoney Anglophonia-US/UK/CAN/OZ/NZ/IE kids are made irrationally scared/abused where least at-risk outdoors, and left unaware/abused, obese/abused, rickets/abused, indoors, where most at-risk NON-seually from those they know well.
U really couldn't make it up, but as don't-give-a-damn Mob Rule Rupe knows well for for profit NOT protection they do make it up - everyday!
