Jacko...
Agreed, my beef was with the speculation merchants and I didn't mean tar all journalists with the same brush. Reporters in theatre are doing a sterling job and their contribution to the overall balanced picture is essential. The public has a right to know what's happening...it just worries me that if you watch discussions by "experts" on the news for long enough, lots of pieces of the jigsaw can start to fall into place.
Regards to all real, hard working journalists!
