Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish

Yesterday's announcement that the News of the World is going to end its centuries old run is nothing short of brilliant. For far too long, the paper has spewed out its filth and garbage and polluted the minds of the lower classes of the British population. I have nothing but contempt for all tabloid newspapers, and so the death of one of them is a step closer to the quality press being validated as the true and proper source of news for all people.

I am not a Rupert Murdoch hater. Personally, I very much enjoy reading The Times - though The Sunday Times is a little too wasteful in my eyes -, and find it to be the best paper available in the UK. Similarly, I am sure that this NotW incident fits perfectly into his scheme for launching a Sunday edition of The Sun, so all those that rejoice in the purported "death" of News Corporation are quite mistaken. I am just saddened that Murdoch continues to print tabloids at all. From a business persepective, it makes perfect sense; tabloids are by far the most profitable papers of all. But, from a cultural perspective, they are like an awful plague that lure people into their web of poor journalism and inane content.

Let us hope that the News of the World never returns to corrupt the people of this country with its drivel.
