The notion that magazines are inherently corrupt and always pandering to advertisers is repeated so often that it seems to be accepted as gospel truth.

It isn't.

If advertiser A produces a piece of junk and a magazine says it's a work of genius, it just massively offended advertisers B to Z. Does that make sense? Why would they do that?

I've been a magazine journalist or more than 20 years, and I'm heartily sick of being casually insulted about this.

Folks,

Could you let this thread go now, please? I know everyone wants to get their point across, but I think maybe we should leave this for the time being. Hope you agree 'cos I don't want to have to start doing serious moderating. Especially when I know none of you really need being told what to do by nanny.

Cheers, Alf

Admin: Heavily edited to allow for the joke but nothing else. :wink: Neil PM'd me to say my last post had appeared while he was composing this one and gave me permission to delete it, for which I thank him. Cheers, Alf

I haven't really had much contact with Pete Martin, but I have no reason to doubt his integrity.

I can personally vouch for the integrity of Pete Martin. I've known him for a long time (far too long if truth be known) and consider him just the sort of chap you'd want to buy a drink whenever you saw him :lol:

I would buy you a pint anytime, it's just that Andy King that I'm a bit concerned about. :roll:

ROTFL :wink:
