Leading article: A blow for open government
"Yet there is a danger that public interest in the nitty-gritty of what went on at the department under Labour will be fixated [sic] on those items which can be most readily converted into headlines."
A bit rich, coming from the editors of one of the rags who will do the "fixating."
But, yep, journalists are more interestated in selling soap than in actually coming to grips with issues facing their audiences. Does this misleadate the public? Yeah, the media say, but so what? As long as we get paid.
