If you 'admit' to something, does it imply some sort of deception has occurred prior to the admission? I notice that news stories often use the word admit and if I cheat and look at the dictionary, it uses words such as 'confess', or 'agree something is true'. I cannot help but think that some news outlets use the word too liberally to get some sort of sensational storyline out of a non-event so instead of a simple 'x tells' we have 'x admits'. Both statements will be true, but one will draw the reader in more than the other.
More media news: The government is looking at the impact of adblockers on newspapers. This is software that removes those annoying ads that spoil your view of free news online. Personally, I see the ads as a necessary evil, because without them we would be reduced to regurgitated news or what is perceived as government sponsored news by the likes of the BBC. I don't subscribe to the latter statement, but I know plenty that do.
