They've just found that negative press sells more papers, or so they think. Same goes for radio shows, TV news etc.
It would be nice if they had to look for positives as much as they muck-rake for negatives, or actually talked about the footy on display (even when that's pretty negative :lol
.
The only way to teach the Rothfields, Hadleys, Wilsons of the world is not to buy their paper, or listen to or wacth their shows... you can do it all for free on the net if you want, and it won't count towards their circulation/ratings figures.
