What is to be done, then. PFR? Do we call for an enquiry into the enquiry? If the BBC has been so wronged, why 2 resignations/?sackings? and no appeal, or even a hard-hitting 'Today' item criticising the report?

I personally was anticipating a blow against the government, but there comes a time when, as TB and GD said, we should 'draw a line' under it. This HAS to be the end of it. Lessons have been learned, I'm sure, on both sides.

I found Jon Snow's handling - yesterday (Wednesday) on the 1900 C4 news - crass to the point of being embarrassing, and I normally have a lot of time for him. His interview with Margaret Beckett was pitiful IMO. I have listened to Alistair Campbell on a few broadcasts in the last two days, and my views of him have mellowed somewhat.

We now have the media feeding on a frenzy of media news, which is pointlessly circulatory, do you not agree?
