Did anyone notice when the news stopped being the news? Was it an overnight switch or a gradual process? I can't help thinking it was a gradual process otherwise I'm hoping I would have noticed before now.

On the news this morning, they had apparently closed a Motorway as the result of a major accident in which a motorcyclist was shot! Well, as a biker I watched and listened with interest, it's not a common occurrence these days, bikers being involved in trouble, much less shot.

Anyway, up flashes a notice at the bottom of the screen saying;

Police say the shooting may be gang related

What what a complete and utter load of bull, talk about making it up as you go along!

How can I say that? Well, at the time I was watching them interview the head copper on-site, who wasn't giving too much away, but was disclosing the basics.

Everyone's a hell's Angel

Apparently this weekend saw the "Bulldog Bash", Europe's top biker "party" that happens every year pulling in over 20,000 bikers from all over Europe, typically without incident. Why without incident? who knows, but it would be true to say that the sort of people who can buy and ride nice bikes these days tend to have a reasonable amount of money and are not the sort of people who can afford to spend any sort of time behind bars - have you seen the price of insurance premiums these days if you have a clean license and no record?!

Anyway, the news presenter asks; "So, do you think this incident was gang related?" and the copper says "Well anything is possible, we really have no idea at this stage".

And there it is again at the bottom of the screen, apparently the police say that it might be gang related.

So, how exactly do we get from "anything is possible" to "the police think is might be gang related"? Well, I'm sure that someone has spoken to a copper with more information and it really will be gang related and the copper on-site isn't up to speed ... yes?

Well a quick look at the web site reveals that "Police have said they do not believe it was a road rage attack." .. yet "anything is possible".

Is it possible that the police keep releasing stupid comments, or could it be as demonstrated live that the police say one thing and the news reports twist in on it's head to make it 'more interesting'.

Not your sat there thinking "yeah, Sky, artistic license, it's what you expect" .. nope, this is all the BBC! I WANT MY LICENSE FEE BACK!
