hmmm there certainly is a place for investigative journalism though if we rely on the press and media for guidance of we have as folks say pretty restrictive notions about what's in the 'public interest'... which is disappointing....

i don't see why celeb shoudl be 'fair game'... celeb is celeb and unless they are involved in illegal or political scandals i really couldn't care less... i don't agree that cos they make money out of making money for the press that that should necessarily mean that the press has licence to go the extra mile.....   or that we have any more right to know about stuff they haven't told you and i personally over a casual chat over a pint... it's pretty gross....    i mean why pay them for publicity in the first place?

 it has been poijted out that the press has been a little reticent to get involved in reporting of the news scandals... (though bbc radio media has been busy.... or at least given the impression of being obsessed it is the loss of 200 media jobs afterall! how awful is that compared to everyone else being made redundant left right and centre

didn't see the question time programme

but have heard both the ridiculous and interesting from John Gaunt on R5 live

GOD BLESS!

Peace and Love,
