It's as if these journalists basically do nothing other than try to make the worst case scenario up, basically to aggravate any situation. It's despicable.
Rob I'm surprised your surprised - every daily rag (in every country) is similar in its text be it reporting about politics or the scandal down the road - thats the press business - you just need to be selective in what you read and digest and that includes motor sport publications - I know I am - you pick and choose the journo's who've most likely have a finger on the pulse and are consistent in their approach. There is probably a bit more behind Dennis' complete step down but we will never know at this stage although his reference to Mosley & Ecclestone not giving a toss about his departure probably says a few things :wink:
The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs - there's also the negative side' - Hunter S Thompson

This is the downside to F1 becoming more 'Mainstream'. Instead of a few 'specialist' publications, everyone is trying to get on the Bandwagon.

Lets face it, Joe Public goes where the stories are 'freshest' and 'juciest', creating a situation whereby the same old stories are constantly re-heated in a sensationalist sauce and served with a sprinkling of creativity.
