The Mail Bag

Let 'em know

At this end of the East Lancs I am spared whatever is going on in the Echo, but from what is being said it all sounds too familiar ? lazy media folk parading their opinions as the word of God ? what any sensible person would think?

A suggestion of boycotting the paper makes sense if this is the case, but I would add that if you do this you should also tell them that you are doing it, and why. That way they may review what they have been doing. I'm afraid its eternal vigilance, but it can work.

I once heard a BBC radio presenter stop her flow and say, "oh no, I can't say that." She must have had a bollocking (?) following my correspondence with the show's producer. His first response was that she was always neutral in her comments. The following day I sent him a list of quotes from that morning's programme. Game over.

If you think you're right, you probably are. Let them know and make life as uncomfortable as you can for them.

The Liverpool Echo is far too arrogant to care what a minority of their readership (’cause thats what it would be) think.
I have written to them in the past over certain peices of journalism in the past and not even had an acknowledgement.

Wite them a letter of protest telling them you’re not giong to buy the Echo or Post anymore and then read it for free on the website.

Just don’t click on any of the ads which will generate them revenue.
