upinwath Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 It said so in the sun. Al-qaeda were plotting to bomb the corrie live 50th anniversary episode.

Lady Star Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hope that they were happy with that lie - especially when the coppers were closing in on real nutters who will hopefully never see day light again... The media need to be far more accountable, as when they tell stupid lies like this, it could have caused the stoke/birmingham would be terrorists to bolt, ruining months of hard work... Or was their intention simply to increase membership of white supremacy groups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upinwath Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Newspapers make money from adverts rather than cover price. The more they sell, the better they attract advertisers. Print pictures of tits to attract two legged tits and top it off with a good "Muslim" story. You'll attract loads of thickos to buy your rubbish.
