Henry Winter doesn't have a Spanish Wiki page. What's your point?

Who?

 

(also, there’s just no comparison there. English Wiki = 59 million articles, Spanish Wiki = 2 million).

English Wiki has about 2 million biographies. It's a pretty good benchmark for fame levels. If he was such a "legend" or "great master" he'd probably at the very least have a stub article on there. That's my point sweetie.

Maybe... the mysteries of fame, @Ulitzer95.

Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton are famous in the whole world. And there are many artists (with real talent) who are famous in their country but unknown in the rest of the world.

In Spain, Pepe Domingo Castaño won the National Award for Arts and Sciences applied to Sport from the High Council for Sports, four Ondas Awards, two Golden Antennas Awards, the Joaquín Prat Radio Award from the Spanish Radio Academy, and a Golden Microphone from the Federation of Professional Radio and Television Associations of Spain, among many other awards.

That's why Pepe Domingo Castaño was a "legend" and a "great master", at least in my humble opinion.

But... all opinions are welcome. ;)

Brian Glanville - either the finest football writer of his generation or the first such football journalist so up himself he opened the doors for a stream of naval gazing shite, either way - he's obitable, breathing and 91 tomorrow. Thought, I'd like, mention that fact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Glanville

I’m loathed to put this in the ‘Journalists’ thread but if there’s a more suitable thread please move this.

 

GBeebies presenter and right wing columnist Dan Wootton has been unmasked as a serial catfisher, bribing scores of men (many of whom are heterosexual and/or colleagues) for sexually explicit and compromising material under a false identity.

 

He’s not been on his nightly GBeebies show for a couple of weeks.

Mailonline terminates Wootton's contract: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66951256

 

Only now?

He's suspended from KGB News too. I can't help but suspect that this is pre-empting the whole farrago mentioned before blowing up in the near future; laughing along with a sexist pig is kinda the norm for GBeebies and Daily Mail staff.

French journalist Jean Pierre Elkabbach has died at 86, he was a very famous journalist in France. He interviewed countless personalities including political personalities such as the French presidents in presidential debates. He worked for CNews (French channel in the mood of Fox News, I mean a far-right channel), he worked for radios such as FranceInter or Europe 1. In conclusion, a big loss inside the world of medias in France.

The Met police announced an investigation in Wootton, and while a number of outlets reported this, many of their articles have since been taken down after legal threats. There is speculation he has some significant dirt he can use to blackmail with.

For such a minor talent to have such a major pull, he must know where more skeletons are buried than Ian Brady.
