Apparently one of the topics to be discussed is Fake News. Quite appropriate really considering the shite that our Politicos talk on the whole. Still TT starts next Saturday night (25th May 2019) subject to enough Marshall’s being available. Edited May 18, 2019 by 2112 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good point on the marshalls. Nothing happens without them. A whole conference on fake news involving Mr R Callister? Really? That has surely has to have been made up news?

Non-Believer 8,988 Posted May 18, 2019 Would that Fake News debate encompass "restated" Tourism Figures I wonder? Or previously "Balanced Budgets"? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lxxx 4,917 Posted May 18, 2019 Love the phrase ‘fake news’ when in relation to government. It basically means how do we stop news getting out that we would rather have kept under the carpet. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It basically means how do we stop news getting out that we would rather have kept under the carpet. And basically utter falsehoods emitted by government before the bad news does indeed out. How many times do we see it, not least of all on these boards? Think of what the Govt press releases put out. Then shortly afterwards invariably followed by the actualité on huge overspends, total cock ups on contractual arrangements, management failings and resignations and general complete f@ck ups. Every time. It's like they never learn that the truth will out. Worst of all, we actually vote these people in and allow them to employ their entourage of professional liars. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gizo 1,876 Posted May 19, 2019 On the eve of the TT, word gets to me that Manx Radio TT commentary legend and all round TT impresario Jo Pack has landed in a bit of hot water. I believe she has done a “Danny Baker”. I don’t want my TT to be distracted by this dreadful sideshow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
