Which hypocrisy is little short of mind-boggling considering that programme's record of deception and censorship by omission (aka lying) - particularly in the twisted "foreign reporting" of Hilsum, Rugman and Miller. So which corporate media apparatchik (Byrne for example) is going to have the guts to call out media lying? Or will they, as usual, get heads down in their cowardly mortgage-first bunker? One guess at their choice......<br /><br />So here's a suggestion: Make it illegal for anyone in or seeking public office to lie or mislead the public. Hefty jail sentences for the guilty parties. And while we're at it immediately introduce Leveson 2 for both print and broadcast media.<br /><br />The fact is, lying politicians and lying propaganda clerks (take note, Byrne <i>et al</i>) are cut from the same hypocritical cloth. Which is why free thinkers everywhere hold them in utter contempt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
