A good journalist checks their sources and facts before printing the same can not be said for the SS, it prints mostly anti-salford proaganda reflecting its editiorial bias. I don't normally read it anymore.

just read it, what a load of tosh, Kingston basically hates the fact that thousands of jobs will be created at the quays, The Lowry outlet will grow with the Quays as BBC and Granada staff and other media add ons move in, the only problem is that some of the more up market stores might want to move in there, pushing others out but also increasing rental revenue back to the council, so the investment in the BBC will be shown to have been good business, hopefully this can be replicated by Salford City Reds. Kingston just sees the negative side to everything that is Salford and I don't think he is even from Salford.

On the contrary - we're trying to make sure that there are some jobs for Salford people on the Quays and at Media City. As far as `anti Salford propaganda (you can't even spell it!) goes, two thirds of the Star is positive stories about Salford. Get real.
PS without making it personal, Kingston's family has been in Salford for over 150 years. So do one.

I stopped reading when I got to 'Land Remediation' - putting the emphasis on it as if no such thing exists.

And finally, `land remediation' is in inverted commas 'cos few people know what it is - you seem to know, do you work for the Council - in the Cabinet maybe??

Three continuous posts! It seems the nerve of a wannabe jouro troll has been touched. It seems the Salford Star like trying to create plenty sh*t but obviously can't take any criticism in return. May I remind you that this is the Salford Reds forum, you know the club 'in Salford' with a 133 year history that you haven't made one positive comment about since the inception of your magazine. You really need to open your eyes to all the excellent work the club does for the local community.

Assuming you do write for Salford Star, the manner in which you have addressed
the people on this message board is disgusting. You will be hard pushed to find anyone here who agrees with your stance, so you are the one who should, “do one”.

[quote="Salford Star"]Some of the drivel that's been written on here just does my head in (see above) `editing to a bare minimum' means just the `ers' and `ummm' and stuff were taken out. Even John Merry himself has written that these interview pieces are totally fair. No `salient facts' were removed by editing.

How many times do we have to say that the Salford Star supports Salford Reds - we've even covered some of the games and ask again that if anyone wants to report on them to get in touch. But we also have a right to hold Salford Council up to account for its use of public money. Or maybe nobody on here believes in democracy and transparency and stuff any more...[/quote]

I would imagine your comment would offend every councillor in Salford. Wasn't that the job for the councillors of the opposition parties that were elected by Salford people? It implies you don't trust the opposition councillors to do their jobs competently. If you feel you can make a difference in Salford my advise is to forget about your free magazine and put yourself up for election.

And how does putting the wording in inverted commas make people understand what it is? It just looks to me (merely an opinion) like an attempt to make something sound as it has dubious legitimacy - like when you'd say "oh, that lazy so and so is 'working from home' again".

I know what land remediation is because I have a degree in Civil Engineering, a Postgraduate Diploma in Environmental Resources and am a member of a professional institute that includes Contaminated Land Remediation people amongst it's membership. Me in the council cabinet? Arf! You, paranoid much?

Even with the wink your stereotyping is so sad!! It never fails to amaze me how the kick & clap brigade are so easily served up rubbish when there's real entertainment available - roll on the start of the season

Iain has answered your question very correctly, and he is probably better suited to being in the media than you are, judging off some of your replies on this forum.

The problem with the media nowadays is that some reporters are trying to make news instead of just reporting it.

If "Salford Star" supports the City Reds then I am Neil Barker.
