What ever they do it will be about saving face, not reporting true events in a reasonable way.<BR/><BR/>They seem incapable of taking either a measureed or nuanced position. The Independent is probably the closest I've seen to proper coverage - but even that has still been excessive and muddled.Jim Jeppshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17410387006098326671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14422435.post-13028382501806362072007-09-11T02:36:00.000+01:002007-09-11T02:36:00.000+01:00"Then came the vile rumours about them in the loca..."Then came the vile rumours about them in the local press."<BR/><BR/>Quite unlike the delightful treatment of Robert Murat by ours!Mellomehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04792773787143523540noreply@blogger.com
