Hatton Arrives In Vegas!

[squealpiggy]

Wow... There's a very balanced article!!

Ricky is the hometown hero fighting for England. Culturally this sort of thing has been a big deal for the English since the Napoleonic wars. Just as culturally the United States tends to celebrate individualism and rebellion, the British celebrate the plucky Tommy (it used to be Jolly Jack-Tar) going overseas and winning against the odds. History makes for national consciousness.

It's not supposed to be a balanced article anyway. It was published in the Daily Mail, which is a right-wing newspaper with a patriotic (bordering on nationalism) leaning. You just don't get balanced articles in that newspaper.

OK. Got it. There are media outlets here where I expext a balanced view (New York Times) and others that I expect advocacy journalism (Village Voice).

I don't know their equivalents in the UK.

[QUOTE=denboy;2871191]Ricky Hatton pushed his own trolley past the slot machines that wait to ambush impatient gamblers at McCarran International Airport, cleared customs and walked almost unnoticed into the United States.

The only American to recognise Hatton, half hidden under a blue, floppy beach hat, was a friend.


LMAO!!!! Floyd couldn't walk the Vegas airport without going unnoticed. That's for damn sure.

And for as long an article this is they didn't even have any pictures. What a joke.

Floyd couldn't walk through Heathrow unnoticed. FMJ would shut manchester airport down. And not in a good way.

There is a substantial difference in starpower.

btw, Unbeat, here's the video.

Of course it's "****" to you. Every time I post something that exposes your journeyman.

Well you have the Mail and the Express which are big C conservative tabloids written for Middle Class people who think they're cleverer than they really are. Then you have the Sun/News of the World for Tory voting lower middle class and tradesmen. They have pictures of **** too so they have more mass appeal. Good sports pages, but very biased. On the left you have the tabloid called the Mirror, and the pretentious broadsheet called the Guardian. Then you have the Times (previously known as the London Times) which is pretty well balanced newspaper and you have the Telegraph which is more small C conservative. Oh and the Independent which says that it is not politically biased but comes across as quite lefty most of the time.

There are a number of local papers also with the Evening Standard being the foremost and the Manchester Evening News being quite big.

Another bit of info, the tabloids in the US are those faux magazines about celebrities. The tabloids in the UK at least pretend to carry real news stories. Normally their front page will say "100s DIE IN IRAQ BOMB" but 60% of the paper is scurrilous gossip and 30% of the remainder is sports.
