this is the news!

the other night, the beeb had some exclusive report on baby trafficing from albania or some such eastern european place. i wasn't really paying too much attention but it all seemed very outrageous and generally not so good. poor little albania kiddie-winks being ferried over here for a few thousand euros, really outrageous, a bit of a coup for the bbc uncovering it really. poor old itv news, they really are the netto of tv news. they obviously didn't want to be outdone so the following day they had an exclusive of their own. Not on child smuggling, but disabler chinese kid smuggling. it all seemed a touch desperate really, with a certain part of the day today about it. like they'd seen the bbc report and thought, we'll see you your child smuggling and raise you one batch of disabilities. i'm sure it was just as newsworthy as the albania thing, but itv should stick with standing in puddles and letting the beeb do the news stuff. Rant over.
