Information gaps

Until now I'd thought 'Gordon is a moron' was merely a statement of fact. Yesterday, I learned that it is also a popular song. Most amusing.

You will gather that we live a sheltered life here in Castle Prodicus. Apart from teh interwebs, we mostly rely on the NoTW, the Sun and Sky News to keep us abreast but it seems Times they are a-changin'.

We may soon be Left with only the BBC and the Guardian to tell us what's afoot. The Independent-of-fact, at the time of writing still lingering on its deathbed, will be gone, unmourned. The FT is no good, being only concerned with money. Our only hope is the re-conversion of the Telegraph from Labour-ish-in-kind-of-Tory-clothing back to good old right-wing Conservatism. We are not holding our collective breath.

But, seriously, we shall have to get out more. The thought of being reduced to the condition of slaves, living in Fabian darkness, allowed only 'Information' approved by the Rusbridger Authority, Sunder-ed from fact and constantly Hari-ed to Think Like a Polly, is intolerable.

There is an upside, though. The Righteous infodroids would force-feed us popular and multi-ethnic culcher so we'd know all the pop songs, innit.
