Let's sit on the fence......

Closing the story exposing the scandal of the Mitchell affair is typical of BBC coverage - if it's media critcism that causes the resignation of political figures, I could probably count on my left hand the number of politicians that would last longer than 5 minutes in office. Fresh from recent scandal, the BBC are more careful than ever to maintain their defence of ineffective journalism in the UK - 'Mr Mitchell has admitted swearing at officers. He resigned from the government in October, following several weeks of criticism in the media.'
