BBC does Good! For once! Example of Biased Media #3
First Magazine's Cover story:
Pete: I married Kate for her Soul!
The story? That Pete Docherty married Kate Moss because of her lovely soul.
The Bias? Come on! Surely I'm not the only one that read it as: "I married Kate for HER SOUL! Mwuh ha ha. Because I have NO SOUL OF MY OWN!"
AMENDMENT:
Continuing in the Docherty-as-schmuck vein, the BBC have finally done something I agree with.
Doherty banned from BBC kids' shows

Troubled rocker Pete Doherty is barred from BBC children's TV because the network's bosses don't believe he's a good role model for kids. Full story here.
I think Pete's not only a terrible role model for kids, he's a terrible example of how being rich and famous allows you to get away with anything. Despite being arrested countless times, for possession of cocaine, possession of heroin and even stealing a car, he's managed to escape jail. The moral of the story? Do whatever the hell you want, kids. If you've got a skinny girlfriend and a few record sales, you can get away with murder.
I think he's dirty and disgusting and I totally support the BBC on this (which is a position I didn't think I'd find myself in.)
