I agree with the ^... They don't care if it's rubbish or that they'll hurt someone's feelings, they just publish it anyway!!!!!!!!!  | |

I agree with hashim90. The media would do anything to publish a story. :/

I find this highly amusing...
Like what, three days after we find out about the new part of her site.... they do an article about it...
About the section that is basically making fun of all the articles the media themselves came up with(maybe not the same exact newspaper, but still considered media)....
Very funny.....

LOL
You're right  I guess they're really into JK's stories now 
Ahh the thing is that the Media is very sensationalistic, and anything that would get people's attention gets published

The Daily Mirror is refered to as a tabloid newspaper and usually they can be a bit dodgy. You sometimes never know if what you are reading is true or accurate. They have a way of highlighting the flaws of people rather than the actual headline. And their the ones that chase all the celebrities about trying to get a juicy scoop for the front page. They may have done right on this occation but probaly they have been the ones that have hurt J.K in the past anyway. | |

Actually The Daily Mirror is one of the better tabloids. The Sun and The Daily Star are by far worse and ironically The Sun has the first rights to Harry Potter interviews with the young actors.
