I agree...and don't forget, the papers never lie. From the link posted earlier:-
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle2459924.ece
"...I don’t for once mean the (British) press, which seems to me, despite its inevitable mawkish descents into sentimentality, to have acted pretty responsibly. The press has urged caution, expressed compassion and been reluctant to judge the McCanns...
...Despite popular thinking about journalists “making things upâ€Â, the traditional media are regulated. Things have to stand up from every angle. Facts matter. We have lawyers; we try not to libel or slander; to keep objective..."
So everything you read in the papers
is true. I will retract all my pinches of salt.
