The Hutton report



Well now, the UK government comes out of this shiny white and smelling of roses; Kelly was a nutjob and should (post-mortem) shoulder all the blame together with the BBC.



The dead man and the last large, relatively independent and trustworthy western news source... I should not be surprised but am. I thought Hutton would at least attempt to appear more even-handed.



This past year, especially, the world has been subjected to the most cynical and brazen mindfuck in recent history on both sides of the Atlantic, leaving "the glove does not fit" in the dust.



It just goes on and on and on... and I for one am heartily sick of it all. Do these rulers and their obedient servants really think their populations are braindead? With all the voices calling out that the emperor has no clothes, how long can the naked emperor still walk on as if nothing is the matter?



In fact, does any of this matter? The BBC will start self-censorship which will be more effective than any government effort to do the same and people like me will increasingly tune out and get their info from grassroots sources on the web.



That may be the best solution in the end.
