There is in South Wales. Ive never read so much rubbish in my life as the South-Wales Echo. None of it seems to ever be news worthy in Local News Papers. Around the time of the Welsh Assembly Elections they were asking people about their opinions and all the people they interviewed were between the ages of 50 and 70 and all of them said "I dont care, those politicians their all out for their own good, dont trust any of them". WTF? They must have just interviewed people who looked like they were idiots. Nothing insightful. Nothing intresting. The Feedback and comments pages well....offensive, insanely anti-youth and just plain badly written. When you think of all the intresting things that happen everyday in South Wales why do all the articles revolve around Charotte Church and kids stealing flowerpot men? Everything is a hugely exaggerated attempt to corrolate every unrelated incident into the working and middle classes insane paranoia of a Crime-ridden distopia.
But what really pissed me off is that I have to listen to its readers rant on about the 'facts' they have read and listen to their stupid, ill-thoughtout and disproportionate solutions to countries problems. Perhaps I should have said the 'South Wales Echo'. There may well be good local newspapers. But I havent really come across one yet.
