Woman Goes For Walk; Buys Some Stuff

Today the Daily Fail’s most-important story in the world is that Amanda Knox decided to go for a walk. She also bought some chocolate.

Just in case you didn’t catch the non-story from that, the Daily Mail decided to justify a paparazzi purchase print over 15 photographs of said outing. Don’t worry, that link is cached.

Given that she is innocent and now a free citizen, how is this considered in the public interest? This isn’t the first time the Daily Mail has published a completely irrelevant article about Amanda Knox. They were so determined to get that elusive first post that they misjudged her court ruling and got it horrendously wrong (making up quotes in the process, which is the dodgy part).

It’s safe to say the Daily Mail shouldn’t be considered a news source any more - they’re just a gossip rag happy to intrude on private lives.
