    • J Black frump is not gonna do squat about media privacy. he RELIES on media noise to promote himself. he’s even said there’s no such thing as bad press… still you guys are gullible enough to believe every sound bite and forget the history of his actions.

    • TheRealRobs E … and trump’s never criticized a democrat. oh wait, he has!
      again, your gullible mind is consuming & regurgitating someone else’s talking points.

      you must have no confidence in your own intelligence, since you obviously prefer to parrot out somebody else.

  1. Our tabloid press are deplorable, all of them are bad but the s*n and the mail in particular are truly evil publication which have caused devastating harm to society this past decade. Fucking mad story too a bloody stag ?!

  2. God bless your steps Miss Stone. You are so brave for sharing your story with the world. I’m sure you are helping a lot of people.

  3. “But don’t you think it’s our job as journalists to sensationalize a story?”
    I guess that type of thinking makes sense in the clickbait-era, but I’d prefer less sensationalism personally.

    • Agree completely. Their job as journalists is to inform the public about goings-on. Unfortunately, a complete focus on sales, circulation, clicks etc has distorted that purpose.

  4. Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded. (The Noble Qur’an. Surah An Nahl. Verse:90)
    Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children (The Noble Qur’an. Surah Hadid. Verse:20)
    Every soul will taste death. Then to Us will you be returned. And those who have believed and done righteous deeds – We will surely assign to them of Paradise [elevated] chambers beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. Excellent is the reward of the [righteous] workers. (The Noble Quran. Surah Al Ankabut. Verse 57-58)
    Listen to the voice of the Noble Quran.
    Maybe your life will be changed If God allows.

      Anyone can espouse pretty cherry-picked crap from any religion.. They’re all equally bullshit. Welcome to reality.

      Religion promotes pedophilia, genocide, hatred, misogyny and ignorance.. If in doubt, keep reading your “holy” book..

  5. Did someone claim you raped them 36 years ago with zero evidence & zero corroboration & then the press start calling for a kangaroo court, no due process & no presumption of innocence & the slander and defame you?
