Are We Reaching A Tipping Point For 'outrage'

[sp1814]

Seriously - read this story and gauge how outraged you are.

So - after looking at the pictures, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being completely chilled and 10 being 'foaming at the mouth' - how outraged are you?

Do Daily Mail readers live in a constant state of fury?

It could be worse. We might get to see the gibbons who produce all that drivel for the talent to regurgitate on Sky News.

It seems by the very fact that you posted this, that it is you who must live in a 'constant state of fury'.

Better stop using the Daily Mail web site, because it is obviously doesn't suit your well being.

I do find it distracting at times. Just the other day there was a...how can I put it....rather 'cuddly' looking lady who was wheezily attempting to master the stairs, when she would have been far better using the lift, if indeed there is one.
I'd fear for her in a fire drill!
On the outrage scale, a mild 3.

The famous Gordon Honeycombe biting his toenails incident was revolting.

It's a disgusting outrage our tax payers money is being spent on people picking their nose (and probably backsides). I have just spluttered my fried bread over the wall and put my foot through the tv. I shall be sending the BBC the bill.

Outraged of AB.

But I ask myself what are they at at Radio four away from the public glare Answers on a post card to ed millers .So he can stamp out this sorta thing.

How can you wriggle your self out of this by inferring that you posted this in 'humour', when you told everyone to treat it seriously.

/// Seriously - read this story and gauge how outraged you are. ///

I can only imagine the response I would have got if I had posted a similar thread.

Okay - so take it seriously...how outraged are you?

[sp1814]

Also, can you explain the Daily Mail's anti-BBC agenda?

Not in the least.

This is not the Daily Mail showing their anti-BBC agenda, it is a Daily Mail report on some licence payers showing their disapproval of certain things on on some social media websites such as Twitter.

Whether or not we needed to be told of these, is an entirely different matter.

The Daily Mail have changed the headline of the story.

Apparently, viewers are no longer 'outraged', but merely 'stunned'.

This seems to be poor Daily Mail journalism.

[jno]

they have however not changed the URL, which still says "outraged", and for some reason they have put an apostrophe after "Viewers".

And, having gone to all the trouble of displaying a tweet from someone called Alex Murray, they then attribute it to a completely different journalist.

Looks like a reverse ferret in full panic mode.

Not outraged but I do wonder what on earth they need all those people for.It's also a bit distracting to see some of the staff in the background, walking down the stairs, presumably having just finished work .This usually happens during the ten 'clock news.We've managed for years seeing just the presenters and I think it is unnecessary for us to see behind the scenes.
