Guess which story comes from the quality newspaper

Wed, Jul 8, 2009

Media

Not sure if this a story about ridiculous hypocrisy, the decline in standards of the Daily Telegraph or the first piece of insightful journalism by a showbiz editor at the Sun but compare Gordon Smart’s observations on the Pop Idol style memorial for Michael Jackson:

with the take on events by Britain’s best-selling quality broadsheet:

PS Best to ignore the next door story in the Sun about the random Welsh kid milking his moment of fame on stage. Slightly too much of a throwback to the Sun’s Wacko Jacko days now it’s a serious newspaper.
