  1. I'm not suggesting the Grant Adam story should not have been reported. I'm suggesting the Stokes one should be.
  2. You are still missing the point though. It doesn't matter whether people were offended by what Regan said. I wasn't offended by what Dallas said and he still got sacked. Employee of the SFA makes tasteless joke about something which offends a certain number of people whilst others are not in the least offended. One is hounded by media and sacked. Other is laughed off. That’s the point of the article. Whether you think Regan did something wrong or not is not the point. It’s the way the media treat similar incidents. There were plenty of people out there not in the least bit offended by the Dallas email - including Catholics.
  3. I think if you look at the Regan vs Stokes thing then the Stokes is by far the more serious. However when both incidents are compared to similar incidents like Dallas and Adam (as in the article) then I think they show the media are more interested in a certain agenda. Some posts on here don't seem to be picking up on that (MarcoNegri).
  4. Which is undoubtedly the more serious of the two issues. Both do however illustrate the point about the media that I was trying to make.
  5. You are making a judgement that one is worse than the other. That's your right. Plenty don't agree though and the media, you would imagine, would print anything that people felt strongly enough about. At best Regan is an idiot. That is my take on it and I do say in the article he probably didn't mean to offend. What is your take on the Stokes one? Or do you also think that's harmless?
  6. Actually you are making judgements. Exactly the same one the media made. Regan made a 'joke' about Remembrance day which some find distasteful. Dallas made one about the Pope which some find distasteful. Compare and contrast the media reaction. That was the point of the article.
  7. New blog up - http://chrisgraham76.wordpress.com/2011/11/11/regan-stokes-and-media-double-standards/
  8. I'll be there. Let's hope it's a good turnout.
  9. Thanks for the support guys. I'm hoping to be doing this on a pretty regular basis and it's good to know people are enjoying the articles.
