Newspaper insist their coverage is 'balanced' and 'restrained'

"Act on fact not rumour", I think everyone made it pretty much obvious that the march was because the Daily Mail represented My Chemical Romance and the emo genre in an unfair, and generally ridiculous way, causing them to be at the heart of unnecessary scaremongering among parents. Was this a rumour?! No, there is plently, PLENTY of evidence in the article, which i got no further than the first few lines before becoming enraged at the FACT that they used my chemical romance as a scapegoat for the reasons of Hannah Bond's suicide. Yes, it's tragic, yes, there must have been some reason for it, but no, i doubt it was one of the musical artists that she loved and adored for all of her days alive as an aparent fan. If all 'emotional music' (which is pretty much all music anyway) was banned then where would anyone turn to when they want to listen to something that reflects their mood and indulges it, in order to overcome it. I think it has been made pretty much publiv knowledge now that the daily mail are nearing incompetance when it comes to understanding and representing styles in fashion and music, adopting a traditional phobia in all things new and exciting to many. Furthermore, I'm sure 'chavs' commit suicide too. Is this not encouraged by 50cent boasting about his numerous gunshot injuries etc?! No, probably not, but i wish the daily mail would give 'emo' a break!The outraged fans did that march based on the FACT that the daily mail has abused their position of responsibility in order to create gossip inducing storyline, upsetting many that My Chemical Romance have actually proven to be the reason why they turned away from the suicide option.Rant just about over!
