Perhaps it's that people weren't there and didn't see or hear what was going on? Perhaps it's because that's what it was like years ago and people haven't bothered to find out if that is what really is happening nowadays. It used to be like that, many years ago, but hasn't been for a very long time. Last year they had black and white faces - they were all painted with St Pirans flag, the Cornish Flag. The picture in WMN was from this years Dd and they had reporters and photographers there, other papers are still using archive pics. Perhaps it's just that puting inflammatory pics and text in sells newspapers?
