What is Happening to Our Media?

I’ve always believed here in the UK we are lucky to have a pretty good press.  It ruthlessly holds those in power to account, it informs the public, provides alternative views and so on.

However, I now find myself asking just what is going on?  Last week it was found out the ‘award winning Johann Hari’ from the Independent had been misleading readers with his quotes.  Now this week,  although a saga we have known about for sometime, we find out the News of Worlds phone hacking has gone far further then we originally thought.

Ed Miliband is not complaining though.  After the accusation last week of being aligned to the Unions and unable to talk about the strikes in PMQs.  He now gets to accuse David Cameron of being aligned with characters such as Rebekah Brookes and Andy Coulson.

This will run and run, the expenses scandal was so last season!
