>>>>The Brits also are willing to make sensational charges based on thin evidence.<<<<

"Scoop," by Evelyn Waugh, is a roaringly-funny satire on Brtish journalism involving the making of a war corresondent.

The Brits tend to practice a form of personal journalism in which it's vital that the reporter inject himself or herself into the story whether or not they are present. Accuracy and honesty take second place to a gripping first person account. The Independent's Fisk is the runaway champion--to the point that he's a parody of himself.
