It is sad, but unfortunately the way things are.

The best way to find this out is when your face pops up on the feed for the 10pm News!

I'm not sure that the process of manufacturing stories is all that new it's just that more people can see it happening and share their opinions of it across the internet. <br /><br />Sadly there is a great deal of *hot right now* mentality across many sectors of our lives - books, films, video games, news - and there has been for a while. I don't think the web has caused it but it has probably amplified the effect.manwiddicombehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499331812704446499noreply@blogger.com
