The Olympics or the Special Olympics?

ok i work for an irish newspaper and i've decided to take on the role of video games journo in order to provide a gamer's perspective on um, games. everyday of the week i see how insanely cut-throat this industry is and that scare mongering seems to be the sole tactic employed by editors. currently there is little or no feedback from readers regarding my articles because they may not conform to the sales-through-fear business model which newspapers adopt. I'm sure that if i wrote an article lambasting the effects of interactive violence on our youth today then i'd probably get a major response. to stoop to this level for personal gain is, in my opinion, immoral and a serious abuse of publicity and propaganda. I'm not sure whether people realise how much of an impact trashy mainstream journalism actually has on the masses. it provides the radio with content and often raises the main topics of conversation amongst ignorant people who have nothing to say. that's a hell of a lot of people.
but i'm going to stand my corner! wait, our corner!
