The sun has set on the British empire. As well as their objectivity. Maybe they are trying to compensate for all the suffering they had caused throughout their colonies.

Media Drawn Into West Bank Propaganda War This reminds me of a little paperback on good journalistic style I picked up when I was living in France. "Pour les adjectifs vous viendrez me voir" - Hédi Kaddour, Les Guides du CFPJ 1995 The avant-propos opened with a paragraph stating : "A subject, a verb and a complement. And for adjectives, come and see me." fnac.com A neat little book for anyone even vaguely francophone... since good journalism and propaganda don't mix, en français non plus.

>>>>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.
