Alastair Campbell: I hate what Dacre and Murdoch have done

http://www.theguardian.com/media/media- ... m-lectures

Sent to my Kindle to read later - I'm wondering if he mentions his own 'spinning' and planting of stories with the press.

Re: Alastair Campbell: I hate what Dacre and Murdoch have done


	Quote: One of the most powerful critiques of modern journalism came from the Guardian's Nick Davies. In his book Flat Earth News, he detailed specific acts of press distortion, manipulation and lying. But more, he made a convincing analysis that the corporatisation of the media is what has led to its decline in trust and accuracy. He calls it a cancer and argues it is beyond cure. I hope he is wrong, but three things are clear:

Not much is likely to happen when corporatism is still relentlessly dominating politics.

Re: Alastair Campbell: I hate what Dacre and Murdoch have done

what surprises me is that the press are in the dock
they, the press did wrong but they showed up so many other wrongs that are not in the dock and will not be in the dock, if the press is found guilty

its a total catch 22, i wonder who benefits ...
