The Who
Journey Man
I disagree with most of the sentiment about the media, and I speak from 40 years of experience. The story on Hoppa Jrn was going to be a positive piece on his unexpected selection in the SOO, with smiling photos and "gee shucks" type quotes when his father apparently rings him to stop it. As a result, Hoppa Snr becomes the story and takes the shine from Will.
Hoppa Snr should step out of the spotlight and allow his son the glory he deserves. Most journos want to write upbeat, positive articles, but over the year the general public have become hooked on celebrity and trivial matters so that when somebody well known does something a little out of the ordinary it makes front page and back page news.
Blame the public for their fascination about the lives of 'celebrities' as much as the media for the reporting of it. You just have to go to a newsagency to see how many banal magazines there are.
