Cleese is great to follow on Twitter. And not just because he has responded to my replies a couple of times. I have sympathy for his complaints that newspaper misdeeds are not brought to the public's attention. He refers people to @Byline on Twiter for coverage of newspaper misdeeds. Last time I went there following his recommendation they were writing about an incident that happened in 1998. Definitely a musty smell to that.
