Posted September 3rd, 2007 by inksmithyI was watching the 6 o'clock news tonight and Look North came on at 25 past, as it is wont to do.
Now I tend not to watch TV news much at the best of times, quite a lot of journalism in this country has unfortunately denigrated itself to the point where it as relevant to real news as an old dead gin whore is relevant to the image of todays London. Look North is no better than many of the shows these days but probably - except for stories similar to the ones I will talk about below - no worse either.
However, since I was busily feeding a four month old baby at the time and had no hands free, I had to sit through it and to no surprise whatsoever, one of Look North's patented sickly sweet emotional appeals appeared on the show.
