Friday, 20 February, 2009 Newsnight & Newsnight Review
'Instead of inviting Christine Odone & David Aaronovitch to comment on the change in the terms of Jade Goody's fiance's curfew, couldn't Newsnight have found someone who actually knew something about the criminal justice system'
Made my day.
I believe it comes under 'enhancing (or, in this case, perhaps more accurately shaping) the narrative'.
Of course, it can't hurt the ratings, either.
Who needs informed, objective news reporting and commentary anyway?
Unique.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
