Hi Platt I trust proper journalists to acurately report statements made and to keep this distinct from their own comments and analysis. Good papers like the Guardian and Independent do this well and if they are speculating they just say so! Its really not hard to do this, but so many others fail terribly. On this point it's really not a trust issue at all, as much it is an issue of competence and proffesionalism.
On the TV, Sky news is good (despite its oligarch connections) and if its web-based your after, aljazeera cant be beat for impartiality. I'm afraid the BBC has become increasingly spun of late and the news anchors are just plain annoying. (I also read Eye Spy magazine for a laugh but if you tell anyone I'll have to kill you). > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 11 April 2007 14:32 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [MD] Making money from surrender? > > > Quoting "Laycock, Jos (OSPT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > My "position" can only be a description of what I've been > told by the media, I've > > inserted some moral judgements throughout, if this will > make you happy. > > > > We're patrolling waters of an occupied country near to a > disputed border, and > > whilst not at war with the neighbour relations are poor.
