Minding my own business listening to the Today programme on Radio 4 this morning, I was startled to hear a confession from John Humphrys. In an interview which I believe was talking about climate change, he broke in to state what he described as the first law of journalism. "First of all simplify, then exaggerate" about 11mins 20secs in.
All of a sudden that explains a lot about some of our local papers, our local golden MPs the Cooper and Balls duo. Any of my savvier media readers like to comment?
