BBC News - Star pays damages for Raoul Moat Grand Theft Auto claim

Grand Theft Auto - Rothbury - I mean lol

Making stuff up then complaining about the thing you just made up - classic journalism

Lol. Fair do's - funny, but yep, you don't have a pop about Rockstar being "sick" in your paper straight afterwards. It's like putting a sign up saying "sue me"

Dunno where you get the Fail > Star thing from. The fail just makes different stuff up. As does the Beeb (from the mouth of someone who works there)...

fucking lol

journalists need a thing like lawyers/doctors, you outright make shit up, you should get struck off and never allowed to publish your gibberish again

and on top of that should be required to print a full front page apology saying "we made this shit up to sell papers, everything we say from now on is suspect, dont buy this paper if you have any intelligence or integrity"

prob woulnt help but might be quite funny

The Daily Star can give me an erection though, the Daily Fail can't.

Unless you're into Princess Diana necro.

The truth is that quite often absolutely nothing of interest has happened, and you can only give Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell so many pages, so the only choice is to make crap up and hope that any resulting law suits cost as little as possible.

That applies to just about any story with "a source".

"A source" = us.
