Careless talk and all that

Friday, 29th February 2008

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I couldn't understand why the normally unflappable Jon Snow was so agitated about the media black-out on Prince Harry. Do the parallels with Chinese state news management really hold water? Some Channel 4 viewers were equally bemused by Snow's line of questioning. (You can watch the studio interview here.)  I've not been a member of the Prince's fan club in the past, but I still didn't care for the flippant references to the risks he's taking on the front line.

As for how the story first broke, Adrian Monck has found an example of an Aussie magazine blurting out the truth in early January.
