And finally ...
Vintage Richard Littlejohn as the Daily Mail's columnist devotes almost his entire page to Channel 4 News and, yup, its not complimentary. Writing about a report that Jon Snow presented on new evidence showing the conviction of four would-be suicide bombers was 'unsafe', Littlejohn quickly froths at the mouth. "Channel 4 News - that smug sanctimonious citadel of self-righteousness," he fumes. "C4 News dresses so far to the left that it makes most of the BBC's output look like Fox News". Anything else to get off your chest Dicky? Yes. "Cover ups and conspiracy theories are part of the programme's paranoid stock in trade." For the full outpouring of anger, read it in the Daily Mail. P17
