Hmm, The Fourth Estate.

As in all walks of life, there are good guys and bad.

I think we have all, at some stage or other, seen garbage written, words changed and misquotes to make a story a 'story'. 9 times out of 10, the glamour pants in front of the camera is there for 'eye candy', not for reporting the 'truth'.

Then we get the likes of Adey, Hastings, Pincher and their ilk. Professional, accurate and impartial.

There is a thread about RAF Aces and another about Walts, doing the rounds.

We have to accept that there are Journalistic Aces as well as Journalistic Walts.

To have a free society, we have to have Aces and Walts.

And in that society, you cannot please all the people all the time.
