I have been on the blunt end of the media a few times in the last few years, and have seen the damage they can do. I was just reading about Robert Murat who was accused of kidnapping Madeleine McCann. He had his life ruined by the media and they never had a shred of evidence to back anything up. They tore into this mans personal life and made him guilty till proven innocent.

Is this the day and age we live in now? A world run my the media? They have the power to turn anything into a witch hunt without anything to stop them. Do we all really believe in everything we are spoonfead these days? Is it true if we read it in the papers or see it on TV?

When I have dealt with the media in the past they always give me the line “We have a right to report the news” and “We are just doing our job”.

This is what Waffen-SS said when they murdered millions of Innocent people. I know they are not murdering people, but they do put peoples lives at risk with the words that they use. They have no laws and only care about the story and not what happens after.

Robert Murat life has been destroyed at the hands of just a few people… But millions of people read these stories and made this innocent man go into hiding. He has just won £600K from the newspapers which I hope can do some healing to his life. But will this money give him back the time he lost? Will it heal any emotional damage it has caused him and the people around him? No. We also need to think about how much they made from ruining this mans life, and how much have they made from all the other peoples lives they ruin everyday?

It makes me sick when I see these newspapers and magazines on the shelves which sole purpose is to make people feel bad. You just have to walk into a newspaper shop to see “Britney gets a big bum!” or “Winehouse punches a man in the face”!

These are the types of stories that hit the front page! We have our own men and women dying in unjust wars, people starving to death, and children being murdered on our own streets! BAre we are now conditioned to care more about someones sweat patches at the Oscars then anything that effects us in real life?

It really upsets me to see how much control the media have over us now. They distate what we think and what we know… We really are living in George Orwel’s vision of Big Brother now.

The moment every Entrecard Community member has been waiting for! The news is out, the papers are rolling, and yes… Entrecard and SezWho are now officially a item.

I have been testing this new system for a while and have to say that these two individuals could not be better suited! The big problem that most people found through Entrecard was that people just powerdropped for credits. Well now this problems may be fixed. You can now get credits from commenting on blog posts!

I know a lot of people will moan about spam… But no need to worry because the Great King Graham has the answers that everyone wants! You can MOD your comments and stop these people from getting their filthy hands on the credits.

I hope this marrige lasts, and I hope everyone can join me in wishing these two a happy life together.

Getting started

The cool thing about this partnership is that we have a big range of blogging software to use! Not only that you have some Forum software with phpBB! I am not 100% sure but I think you may be able to get Credits through making forum posts on phpBB forums.

So make sure you get installing SezWho as soon as you can! The more of us that use it the more credits we get to use!

I have also been in touch with SezWho developers and asked if we will be able to use our 125×125 images for our comments! I was told if it is possible it will be out in a few months (Or weeks).
