Buah Hah Hah!!!<br /><br />PS: If this comment is not published, my lawyers will be calling you.

Hysteric...<i>The nobility and morality of journalism.</i> Hysterical! Surely not even journalists believe that.<br /><br />(Private Eye renamed Fleet Street 'The Street of Shame' - much more apposite!)<br /><br />And <i>breached the code of ethics</i>? The code says the media has to publish everything, does it? Where can I get a copy of this strange code people keep referring to?<br /><br />I was going to post about this but as you've done it I probably won't. My thoughts are that while it's an appalling attack on the media's right to decide whether to publish something I have the feeling that's not actually what's behind the decision. I think the decision is in that murky area we struggle to get our heads around, the losing face thing, where an insult, or a finger, results in a trip to Al Slammer. Like the victim in <i>that</i> video sueing the Americans who released it because it defamed him. Duh!<br /><br />The prince's lawyer's quote basically says that - it's about loss of face. Family, friends, students, colleagues are all told to watch the interview...and it doesn't appear. Huge embarrassment.<br /><br />The problem isn't that it wasn't broadcast per se, but that embarrassment was caused.Seabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939892206726271433noreply@blogger.com
