One is the pointless little plug for their Femail section. The other is the Poirot DVD. <br /><br />And they find no room for Haiti. <br /><br />I think that's unbelievable and a serious error of judgment.MacGuffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16894506410560858668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-78282785985468696612010-01-14T01:40:55.242+00:002010-01-14T01:40:55.242+00:00They could have given a corner to Haiti, the way t...They could have given a corner to Haiti, the way the Star did. Instead they devoted all their corner space to Poirot and Femail. It's not that they didn't run it as the main story, they didn't run it on the front page AT ALL.Rissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-68091833710702127462010-01-14T01:18:33.648+00:002010-01-14T01:18:33.648+00:00"Because one national daily newspaper (and on..."Because one national daily newspaper (and only one) thinks Haiti isn't worth mentioning on its front page. Apparently, the Daily Mail and its Editor Paul Dacre, regard their Femail magazine and their free Poirot DVD as more important:"<br />To be fair, they seem to consider Gary McKinnon more important.<br /><br />The Poirot DVD is more in line with the Mirror's football stickers, sharing the front page with Haiti.<br /><br />Criticism does seem to be due, but not in the form you have put it there.
