At secondary school in English we opted on this word being somewhat tacky when looking into tabloids, so maybe that's why but when the BBC -supposedly a stalwart bla bla bla- starts injecting it. Even on that foot & mouth outbreak. When they had pictures from inside the lab
"As these pictures show, exclusive to the BBC..."

It gets a bit much that and the tabloids coverage of Princess Diana now. Last week that CCTV image of her smiling in the lift and the Daily Mail's headline: WHAT DID THE SMILE SIGNIFY?

I agree, MM. I worry about the BBC news as much as other channels
There was a front page headline on one of the tabloid scum, possibly The Daily Mail, which said something along the lines of "Diana's last smile" - with a picture of her smiling, i suppose, in the lift. How can they even use that as a headline. Absolute garbage, which makes me despair.
