Unsympathetic
So Ozzie has been burgled - so what.
This mis -fit has been given tV air time to vent his anger over the theft of some jewels - They go on about how hard they worked for their money etc etc.
Go tell someone who cares.
This out pouring of self pity is sickening.
The next story on Sky News was the murder of a 10 year old Palestinian girl by the Isralies - 20 bullets in her little body .That little girl lost everything Ozzie .

Yet another example of sensationalist jornalism. <insert name of famous person> stubs his toe and it's headline news over all the really terrible things happening elsewhere. It's the same with disasters abroad - they always report the westerners before any locals - regardless of the disparity:
Today, at 15.35 GMT, an earthquake shook the city of Placeinremotecountry, reading 7.6 on the Richter scale. Harold Appleby and his wife Edith, retired British tourists from Tunbridge Wells, were holidaying in the city when the earthquake hit. Mr. Appleby suffered a bruise to his left elbow and his wife dropped her glasses, resulting in a scratched lens. Mrs. Appleby said "Our luxury hotel was without electricty for 20 minutes. It was awful, the ice in our fridge almost melted".
4,000 locals were killed and 35,000 have lost their homes.

"A plane has crashed in <insert remote country name here> killing all 320 passengers. However, none of the dead are thought to be British. Now to football, Wayne Rooney has a paper cut on his finger ...."
The media in the UK are ridiculous, they are getting more biased and sensationalist with every passing day and 'news' these days simply panders to the 'soap opera generation'. On top of all that in the case of the BBC we are practically forced to pay for their existence which in today's society is just wrong IMHO.

The BBC is probably one of the greatest things our country has left. It is a fantastic resource which isn't bound by the need to gain an audience so can take risks to produce something different, rather then re-creating what is popular.
Personally I think the BBC website is the best website I have ever used. More then 1,000,000 pages, full of information and resources such as archieved radio and news aswell as entertainment and uptodate info on football weather etc. Without being cluttered with adverts, pop-ups banners splash screens etc.
All for the price of a small license fee.

The only mildy diverting one among them is The Daily Mail as this is on another level of sensationalism. Their articles press all the buttons of the 'It's all becoming too PC brigade'/middle England which sends them apoplectic with rage and watching them frothing on Scoobynet about a story that is at best blown out of all proportion, at worst outright fantasy is quite fun.

In a time when we have media organisations coming out of our ears I want the choice as to whether to support them or not - not be forced to just because I own a TV. You think they're wonderful which is fine (as you are of course entitled to your opinion), I don't, but we both have to pay for them - doesn't seem right to me.

The BBC is in the Government's pocket now, in case it gets it's licence removed.
There is a discernible difference in the way the Government is presented to the country.

OR is your problem with the media giving it (disproportionate imo) attention?

let's face it - between sharon and ozzy they have enough jewels and tat to open up their own junk shop. the only thing that surprised me is they realsied someone had broken in, and didn't just assume that one of the dogs had eaten the rings.

£2million worth of jewellry has gone missing from the osbournes house, they have a right to jump and shout about it, if the media want to stick this on the front page of the paper then who's fault is it? it certainly aint Ozzies.
What cracks me up though is ozzy had this guy in a head lock, can u imagine the abuse ozzy was shouting at this guy lmfao. the other thing on ozzies show he is like an old cripple yet he managed to restrian a theif for a short while..lol

Scratch the actual value of the jewels and you're left with people losing items of sentimental value and a violent confrontation with intruders. It'd have made the news anway. They just wouldn't have got the heli-chopper in to take all those artsy aerial photos.lol at ****** 2 leaping out of an upstairs window to escape...
