Topslide6 you simply took one quote - and I gave two by way of balance - and decided that you liked it. You denigrated the other. You did not say whether or not you had read the full Business Opinion column, so I cannot know on what you are basing your assessment. I merely was making the point that people with a bit of distance seem to be thinking a little bit more objectively and carefully than some posters here. You also say of the quote you don't like
In no way can this be viewed as 'balanced'. Just more lazy journalism.
Well you might try than line with C4, but the journalist concerned is not known to be a fool, or to be partisian. On what basis did you advance such a serious criticism? Evidence or bias?

The point I am making has been repeatedly made by others. It is to beware of spin, examine the actual evidence and make up your mind afterwards. It is not rocket science.
