The PCC

[poliphilo]

Talk about reforming the Press Complaints Commission is beside the point. The things that News International journalists have done aren't simply breaches of journalistic ethics, but crimes- and as such the business of the police.  It's the police- and their political masters- who have failed to do their job. The scandal at the News of the World isn't primarily about journalism, its about the corruption and/or cowardice of our law makers and law enforcers.

Ugh. I despise most journalists. I believe we've each already noted how little objective reporting is done. Reading a mainstream newspaper these days is like getting rolled by a hooker. erm....or so I conjecture.

It is beyond me how people like Brooks can do the work they do and not hate themselves profoundly.

That's why she's rich and you and I are not.
