The DailyTelegraph

The news paper, the Daily Telegraph was at one time a decent paper, not my preferred paper as I prefer the Guardian.

They splash an Article, Soviet aircraft carrier burns in Chinese lagoon.

So given the Ukrainian forces seem to be giving the Russians a bit of a hard time at the moment?

Well I jumped to the conclusion that Ukraine had just given Putin and his crowd another bloody nose.

A former Soviet aircraft carrier that became a popular tourist attraction in China caught fire in a lagoon near Shanghai.

Footage shows The Minsk, once a jewel of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, engulfed in a huge blaze over the weekend, with thick smoke and large flames lighting up on the night sky.

Firefighters spent more than 24 hours trying to contain the fire, which Chinese state media said started during renovations for it to become the centrepiece of a new military theme park.

The Minsk was the second of four Kiev-class aircraft carriers built by the Soviet Union between 1970 and 1987. It was decommissioned by the Russian Navy in 1993, and eventually sold to China as scrap.
The carrier had been the main attraction for 16 years at the now-defunct Minsk World theme park in Shenzhen, before being moved to its current site in a waterway close to Nantong in Jiangsu province.

Really annoying when news papers and other media do this, just a way to grab your attention.

When living in the UK, my pick was always the Daily Mirror. It was a smaller News Paper, easier to hold and read anywhere and always had good news plus a lot of other !
Dont know if its still going, but guess not!
Cheers

For me when living there the 'Daily Mail'

I see now in London the free edition of the daily paper is in decline and speculation it will cease this year.

But no matter the paper it will only carry about ten percent truth, the remainders the idea of what is in the article by the writer.

Good news never sell, bad news always sells.

The Media do this all the time, anything true or not for a headline.

And worst of all - the once universally trusted BBC (The British Biased Corporation). Nowadays the home of extreme lefties with an axe to grind. Sadly, I think more truth comes out of Russia Today than the BBC

Any opinions on GB news?

[happy daze john in oz]

5% oif theSounds much like our ABC, always biased corporation.
But ours is not just a political bias twards Labor, it also has a gender bias.
95% of the reporters and presenters are female.
They think they are on the stage by the manner in which they wave their hands about.
Most waffle on to the point where the viewer, and I think the presenter has lost the plot
It has gone from a first class news report to a second class magazine style news
