According to Friday’s Independent, since Paris Hilton was sentenced to a jail sentence, the local media in LA has:
‘whipped up hysteria over the affair, speculating furiously over girl gangs, lesbian rape, judicial floggings and other horrors at the Century Regional Detention Facility.’
OK, OK. I admit it. I may have got carried away with my transcription and added just a couple of words to the original text. But the more demure Ms Hilton tries to look during her court appearances, the more my mind wanders.. In common, it seems, with most of California’s journalists.
I’m pleased my antenna for BS still works most of the time. I got to “judicial floggings” and thought, “the US press wrote that??? – no way!!!”
But I take your point – all that ‘holier than thou’ stuff makes one wish…
What Los Angeles media is the Independent reading?
And where can I buy it?
I swear, I only get the most boring newspapers. ::sigh::
